Nicky Boo

You are perfectly everything
I ever hoped a boy could be;
With bugs and snails
And trains de-railed
And "Wake up, Mommy! One, tyu, fwee!"

You think spiders are fun
As they climb all over you,
Tickling your toes;
Wriggling your nose;
And frogs are the best thing at the zoo.

"Air are you, Mommy? I hineen
from you!" you shout from my room.
Under the sheets
I see some feets.
Tickling and Peek-A-Boo will resume.

"Mutween" is the fastest race car around.
"Ump twucks" are cool too.
"Byue byue's" are sad
But I'm so glad
That you are my sweet Nicky-Boo!
