Watch the Baby!

Mom said I should watch the baby 

While she's at the store. 

"Now, young man, I don't mean maybe!" 

Then she slammed the door.   

With a frown, I sighed again, 

"I hope he's not too needy!" 

I shut the TV down, and then 

I watched him—yes indeedy!   

I watched the baby crawl around, 

I watched the baby cry, 

I watched him ride the Bassett Hound 

And make the goldfish fly.   

I watched the baby yanking at 

The dining table cloth. 

I watched him yak in Daddy's hat, 

I watched him eat a moth.  

I watched him lick the windows clear 

Just like a windshield wiper, 

Then watched him as he laughed and smeared 

Them with his stinky diaper.   

My baby-watching's just begun— 

I hope Mom stays away! 

If I knew it was this much fun, 

I'd watch him every day!
