When we were very young

[pomes]

My little baby has standy-up legs
My little baby has bendy knees
My little baby has a wobbly bottom
Does your little baby have these?

Who's a munchkin, baby bunchkin?
Who's a baba, baba boo?
Who's a little cuddle lumpkin?
I think I think it's you!

---

One, two, baba boo!
Three, four, we love you more!
Five, six, you're full of tricks!
Seven, eight, and aren't you great!
Nine, ten, start again!

---

Who's a lucky mucky puppy?
Who's a lucky baba boo?
Who's a lucky darling ducky?
I think I think it's you!

(Ed: these are inexhaustible, as far as we can tell, but the most popular is the first.)

You killin' me!

I die, Horatio. Horatio, I am dead.

But she's lovely and I see no reason to afflict her with gorm-tinted love (no Leamy in her name - we left it out for aesthetic reasons. I suppose she might put it back in).

And come on, some of them - not today's, I admit, though she likes them - are good!

Actually, I love 'em. I can hear you saying them. Hell, I can hear my sisters saying them. I can hear my mother saying them.

I may have to collect them, bind them elegantly in a slim volume, and send them around the family.
