My mother made up a nursery-rhyme for my little brother when he was a baby due to the plethora of dinosaurs on his clothes. I thought you might enjoy it, Brontosaurus.
*clears throat* Ahem.
"A dinosaur in a grocery store is not a very pleasant thing!
He marches through the checkout aisles and tramples over everything.
He puts his snoot into the fruit;
his tail wipes out displays.
I'll tell you just what I've observed --
A grocery store is not a place for dinosaurs to play."
(For the first year of my brother's life, this was declaimed in our home only slightly less frequently than her all-time greatest hit, "Ubiquitous Bear.")

There's another home somewhere,
There's another glimpse of sky...
There's another way to lean
into the wind, unafraid.
There's another life out there...

Well, if you insist.
And now you simply must share the Ubiquitous Bear!
Again, created in honor of the bears that seemed to decorate all the infant boys' clothes we could find (except for the ones with dinosaurs).
Ubiquitous bear has savoir faire,
he takes it wherever he goes.
He rests on my pajama sleeve,
reclines upon my toes.
Ubiquitous bear is a dapper guy,
in a short tailcoat and a neat bowtie.
"He's cute and cuddly," the grown-ups claim.
(I just hope that he is tame.)
(And people wondered why the two of us had such excellent vocabularies at such early ages.)

Between the poems and the haikus, Kirsten, I'm pretty sure you have the coolest mom on earth.
you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

Yeah, pretty much. I never really noticed it until I got to college -- and suddenly I noticed that, hey, not everyone has a mother who sang them "A Boy Named Sue" as a lullabye. Also, her poetry -- nursery rhyme and otherwise -- does tend to be on the awesome side.

That's pretty amazing. I'm inspired by your mom. Someday, someday, when I have kids of my own....

I made dinosaur-shaped crumpets! But they kinda sucked because it was my first try at crumpets and I had to devour them to hide the evidence.
