This is funny! You have a creative poem that plays on words so well. The picture, the poem, everything is perfect. Love how you made me laugh with 17 syllables!

Oh yes! Here we have a very clever pun indeed. I like it. And you chose the perfect photo to go with it, This guy will resist anything and everything forever, by the looks of him.

This is so very cute and clever...I am still chuckling as I write this. From your title, I had expected a true-crime story. :)
Imagine my delight at finding this adorable baby, with this very witty caption. Bravo! Don't see how it could be better.
If six stars had been available, I'd have gladly given it. I will remember this poem.

Haha, this is very clever and what a gorgeous baby photo! I'm sure that little face could get away with blue murder. I wrote my first 5-7-5 just a few days ago too. Good luck with this.

    Thanks very much. I mistakenly thought Haku but Roy Owens reminded me Haku is for Nature or animals or something.

    I made the same mistake. I write very little poetry.

    Always glad to meet m9ore that are not exclusively poets as I am not. Also a Deaf now musician/composer but I could not afford to be in Toms Fan Music group as well.
reply by JudyE on 29-Apr-2019
    I didn't know there was a music group here as well. We are both going deaf now. Getting old isn't for sissies, is it? And I might have said that before. Repeating oneself is another failing. :)

    Yeah Fabstory, Fanart and I forget the name of the music one but all separate and all costing a fortune to be a part of.

Oh, my--I did not expect your "nap" theme! I relished your wordplay with "a rest" and the cute picture. You have a knack for the 5-7-5 form and should create more of them. Giggles- Joan

    Yeah well the photo has been around for years. Some even think it might have been me but not so. I had to re-work the original tag and make additions and changes to create the 5-7-5. Thanks for coming along.

    Thought I just responded to your review. Thanks much appreciated. The photo has been around for years I had to re-work the caption and add my own inclusions for the 5-7-5. Judging should be done and Voting opened soon. We still don't know who the "committee" is hehe.Also running my wife's old account (Tootsie55)that was closed for various reasons, one more change to her "Our Trips" book coming with a full book review with funny money

LOL. Love this. Your wording is right on Bro. He's a cutie. They have a mind of their own when it comes to getting a nap. Thanks for sharing. It made my day.

I think it is considered just that and the picture is perfect. I told my friend I'd babysit her twin that are like 8 months old. They were good last time I babysat but I'm sure they are teething now. Good thing I got a couple weeks to prepare

Awe, Geoff, that is a lovely 5-7-5 poem. For a first try you've done extremely well. The baby is adoring and your words go so well with it. What a great entry for the contest. Good luck. All the best. Ulla:))

    Thanks Ulla. The photo has been around for ages. Some think it might have been me back then but alas not.

A very well-written humorous 5-7-5 poem. The young babies often refuse to take a nap when mom wants them to sleep for a while to do her daily tasks.

    Thanks Sis. This picture had been around for a while. Some even thought it might have been me as a little fella, not so. I had to alter and change and add to the script to create the 5-7-5. Glad you enjoyed it.
