" BABY..BOFFIN !?" X

" I MAY JUST BE A FEW MONTHS OLD !
& MY MUMMY SAYS, IM GOOD AS GOLD 
I STILL HAVE UPSET TUMS & STINKY BUMS !
BUT, DESPITE MY YOUNG AGE 
I AM SO GOOD AT ME SUMS 
AS I REMEMBER ALL I AM TOLD 
& THAT IT IS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD
I DO TEND TO CAUSE QUITE A RACKET
IF I CANNOT WORK OUT MY BRACKETS !
IM ALWAYS TRYING TO MULTIPLY
EVEN WHILST HAVING A GOOD CRY
MY BRAIN IS CALCULATING QUARTERS
WHILE IM DRINKING MY GRIPE WATER
WORKING OUT COMPLICATED UNITS
OR REMEMBERING A FEW DEGREE DIGITS
WHILE TRYING TO FORCE OUT A SHIT 
& MUMMY WONDERS WHY I FIDGET ?
IM MEASURING UP MY GRAPHS 
WHILE I AM IN THE BATH
& MUMMY ALWAYS HAS TO LAUGH
IM ALWAYS DOING MY SUMS
WHILST MUMMY CLEANS UP ME BUM
I LIKE TO TAKE AWAY, WHILST I PLAY
& WILL ONLY MULTIPLY & ADD.. WITH DAD
& HAVE ALWAYS GOT A PENCIL & PAD!
IM SO BUSY  BEING CALCULATED 
THAT I FORGET MY NAPPY  IS SATURATED
& BY FACTS & FIGURES IM SO FASCINATED 
NOW MY TEA HAS PROMPTLY ARRIVED
EXACTLY ON THE DOT OF FIVE 
I NEED MY TEA TO SURVIVE
HERE,S MY ALPHABET SPAGETTI
THAT MUMMY HAS SERVED & PLATED
& IT IS IN, ALL WORDS ALSO
THAT I TOO,  AM SO  FASCINATED 
HOW MANY CONSONANTS & VOWELS
ARE TODAY ON MY PLATE ?
BEFORE SHE FORCES THEM IN MY GATE
I HAVE TO BE QUICK IN FINDING THEM
BEFORE ITS WAY TOO LATE 
AS I FOLLOW EVERY LETTER
THAT MUMMY IS MOVING AROUND  MY PLATE 
MY PARENTS & ME THINK IM GREAT
& IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF IM A BABY BOFFIN
NOW IF YOU,LL EXCUSE ME 
I GOT ALL THESE LETTERS TO BE SCOFFING !"
