Once upon a time there was a girl
A chubby little bub was she
She slept from dusk till morn
And was happy as could be
She was the first born
And the apple of her parent’s eye
Who showered her with love
And heaps of stuffed toys
Her first word was ‘daddy’
Which is a funny story
Because the word she later used
Was ‘uncle’ for her dad in reality
She didn’t cry much
Or at least that’s what her parents thought
Until on some long drives and trips
She wailed and howled non-stop
She was a chubby little thing
Oh so heavy to lift!
It was an amazing feat
For her mum to carry her whilst walking adrift
Most of her hours as a baby
Were spent being fast asleep
The only other important thing
Was eating her favourite foods and peas
25 years on
She wonders what it’d be like
To go back in time
And live that life again
When there was no care in the world
And all she could do was sleep
With people looking after her
And she having absolutely no responsibility
A time with no pressure
No stress, no worry
A time where the biggest thing
Was when to pee and go to the potty
Back to that time where
I was spoilt and loved
And if I wanted anything
I just had to cry for it to come
Life back then was
Nothing short of bliss
Mum, dad and grandparents
To see that nothing was amiss
If I could be a baby again
I’d just ask for one more thing
The ability to think and type
So I could continue blogging!

6 November 2009 at 11:15 pmNice poem.
Life then was a bliss — true indeed.
Why wish for a baby to ‘think and type’ ? That’s the start of the rot 🙂 . Then again to each his/her own ..

7 November 2009 at 9:05 amA really good poem. Loved reading your post.
“And if I wanted anything
I just had to cry for it to come”
These lines were the best.
Been a regular reader on your blog through nablopomo. We are doing a great job.

7 November 2009 at 3:12 pmhehe… the time when the biggest thing was to pee and go to potty! It would be interesting to have a baby blogger… wonder what he/she might even have to blog about?… potty training maybe? lol..

8 November 2009 at 7:23 am@ Titaxy: Wouldn’t it be an interesting POV? A baby observing all that’s going on around them…?? 😛
@ Rohini: Welcome! And thanks! =)
@ Madhu: Thanks. And true, thinking is the beginning of some problems…but…a baby’s point of view would be intriguing…don’t you reckon???
@ Avada: Thanks! Yes…I’m an addict. I will attend blogging anonymous soon. 😛
@ Mahmud: Thank you! And this was my first blog-a-ton attempt.
@ Nu: Thank you! 🙂 It will be interesting to see a baby’s point in blogging, eh?
@ Daisy: Welcome! And thanks for you comment about the post and the blog! 🙂
@ Vicki: Ta!
@ Shilpa: Welcome and thanks! =)
@ Rajalakshmi: Welcome! And thank you!!
@ RSV: Welcome! And thanks!
@ Dhiman: Welcome! And thank you! I think a baby’s point of view of the world would be really different from ours…don’t you reckon? Kinda like the movie Look who’s talking.
@ Pushpee: Welcome! Infancy is bliss isn’t it…without any of the stress and worries. And blogging about our observations then with a stress-free mind would be awesome! 😛
@ ForWhatItsWorth: Thank you! =) Will follow your NaBloPoMo progress
@ Debosmita: Welcome! Thanks heaps… =)
@ Prashant: Welcome! =)
@ Chetan: Welcome! And yes, you are right about childhood probably being the only time we sleep without any worries!
@ Perplezed: Baby blogger would probably be similar to the movie ‘Look Who’s talking’ and a cross with Baby’s Day out…interesting experiences of the baby…how they missed the potty and upset their parents… 😛
@ Matt: Yay! Welcome back! And thank you! 🙂
@ Richa: Thanks! I liked your post too as you saw…
@ Shankar: Thank you =)

8 November 2009 at 8:52 amHow do you know all these little details, how chubby you were, what you said first, how much you slept … ? ! Obviously proud and loving parents have told you 🙂
I once met a little girl of 3 or so, in a park who announced “I was very cute when I was a baby.” This happy, confident post reminded me of that loved and pampered little girl 🙂

8 November 2009 at 5:30 pmI was wondering on how anyone could write a poem on this topic. But you made me a fool in that area 😉
Good poem!

9 November 2009 at 2:33 pmare all babies happy or we think they are all happy. still a mystery to me.
I liked the way you finished the poem?
Vipul Grover
9 November 2009 at 5:25 pmlol.. a very cute poem..
loved the lines..
When there was no care in the world
And all she could do was sleep
A time where the biggest thing
Was when to pee and go to the potty
And if I wanted anything
I just had to cry for it to come
Hav a new born at my place, my niece nd indeed these are her only pass time 🙂

10 November 2009 at 10:39 am@ Neeraj: Thanks! To be honest, it didn’t really take that long…in fact, writing in a prose format or a short story seemed much harder at the time and so I settled for rhyme! 😛
@ Aativas: Welcome! And thanks! 🙂
@ Bharati: Welcome! Well, even if babies are not entirely happy, they seem to have it easy, don’t you reckon? 🙂
@ Vipul: Welcome! And thanks! 🙂
@ Mahesh: Welcome and thank you 🙂
@ Naveen: Welcome! Hehe…would be an advanced version of the movie ‘Look who’s talking’. This could be ‘Look who’s blogging’ 😛
