My little girl she’s only three < !signature-->Last night she came and cried to me Daddy Daddy there in my room A floating nose to meet my doom A floating nose you’re being silly A floating nose Daddy really! Wife of mine go and see that nose But that wife of mine gently dozed I was naked and she was three The covers were grasped tight to me I’ve never been a homophobe So I grabbed my wife’s frilly robe Down that dark and chilly hallway Each nightlight briefly we would stay At her door she looked up to me I hoped my frown she didn’t see For all the silence we had held Her puffy cheeks they swiftly swelled She cried to me. Why? Heaven knows A crepe myrtle tree could sprout a nose Deary Deary your eyes of suede Have spied a blossom Jesus made That’s not a nose of monster scary That's not a badman big and hairy So Deary Deary you close your eyes Let the hungry monsters sit and cry Daddy Daddy what’s a blossom A gift from Jesus and you got some The doctor said, "You're almost dead. Don't eat green bananas no more." The sick little monkey groaned and said, "But that's what I 1-2 the 3-4." from The Monkey--Shel Silverstein [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 05-03-2000).] |

Walt, I liked the way this poem flowed and where it was leading, but I'm not totally sure what you are referring to with blossom, can you maybe explain?  |

Walt - This is absolutely wonderful - robe and all... hehe... It brings back memories of the time my daughter had a dream that there were hands all over her - I had to remove every single one of them before she'd go back to sleep... hehe... Nice job, my friend..  |

I love your style, and I must now take a *bow* to a wonderful daddy who would put on a frilly robe - not to mention sleep naked - just so he can go see what's bothering his sweet little girl in the middle of the night! *** curtsies to you man ***  |

I'm replying because of the irony, in the poem re: the tree, but also because of the "You're almost dead" "But that's what I 1-2 the 3-4" Remember this subject at Barnes & Noble. anyways |
