A beautiful upbeat work, with the little one looking protestingly indignant in his bath! Abaaabab rhyming, what type is this Brooke? Lovely, you are good at lifting the spirits, I appreciate the respite! Blessings. Roy.

Thanks so much, Roy- it is the rhyming pattern of the triolet - I've modified the repeating lines so that they aren't exact repeats, but I've kept the rhyme scheme :-) Brooke

Thanks Brooke, appreciate it, Roy.
Comment from fastdigits
Ah, i laughed my ass off with your
sparkling illustrative tale of Sawyer
taking a bath and the words you
give to him as you write of this
tale through the eyes of a child
as he tells of his side of the story
where the blame really belongs.
As always, well done

Sawyer is looking quite a bit like Alfalfa in this pose. This is a lovely and amusing poem. It is true that as kids we sometimes provide our moms with the opportunity to express their silly side. We emerged none the worse for the experience so I say let them have their fun. Heaven knows there will be plenty of times when our silly antics will cause them grief. So I says fair is only fair.

Comment from Delahay
Yep, it sounds to me as if it is all Mama's fault. She is the one in charge after all so she has to be the one responsible. And look at all the good blackmail pictures she will have for later on.

Oh yes - the little rascal has planned his revenge - but they are so cute and make us smile so - it seems like a valid price to pay for such a laugh!

Comment from boxergirl
This is a classic pose that most kids have to endure during their early bath years. I think the poem reads well even if it is a wildly wildly modified triolet. 8-)

What absolute fun this one is, Brooke.
What mother hasn't been guilty of child-humiliating crimes. LOL
My son's took so many photos of my son in full frontal nudity when he was a baby, I thought that his dad was afraid that the appendage would one day disappear and he needed proof against that day. LOL
You have captured such an essential truth here.
Love the photo of Sawyer and his gelled hair.
You started my review day off with a smile.
Hugs,d

Comment from Taffspride
Love it, I have not stopped laughing, making it hard to read aloud, but I managed it anyway.
Poor Mama takes the blame. I still blame my mother for not letting me attend the school my best friend did. And because of it I cannot drive a car with a stick shift.
Thanks for sharing this delightful poem. And for the great picture of Sawyer.

Comment from Green Lake Girl
This is a great hair-do for a youngster. I tried that same style the other day and got "funny" looks from people. Go figure. I'm obviously not half as cute as Sawyer!
Darling poem, super rhyming as usual, Brooke!
