Desperate To Talk

When Mummy and Daddy open their mouths
Words just seem to tumble out
I wish that I could speak like that
I've so much to talk about!

I made all the right movements
And the words, they formed in my head
But Mummy and Daddy laughed at me
As a giant bubble appeared instead!

I wanted to tell Daddy I love him
But dribble just rolled down my chin
I wanted to ask Mummy for a kiss
But only managed a cheeky grin

Sometimes I make funny noises
Like ba-ba and da-da and gee
I'm sure that by my next birthday
I'll be chatting away happily!
