She was brave as brave could be
even though not quite three.
It took an hour or so
for her to think, “Where did she go?
That mommy of mine
she’s kinda hard to find.
Wait, she truly left me here?
With this weirdo, I fear,
who talks in a funny way
and always wants to play
Ring Around the Rosies
(ugh, I’ll show you some posies!).
What if she never comes back?
Who will give me a snack?
This is not going well.
Great, now there’s a funky smell.
Oh no, I think it’s me.
Such a bad day – I’m poopy
and I miss my mommy!”
