sound of moosic...



yogurt and butter and ice cream galore
cream cheese and string cheese, why, yes, i'd love more
cheesecakes and milkshakes topped off with whipped cream
these are a few of my can't-eat-now things

fruit loops and corn pops both swimming in milk
wiping a milkstache with napkins of silk (?? YOU try rhyming with "milk")
it's just not worth it, they make addie scream
for now i'll hold off on these dairy-food things

when the schwann's truck
comes down my street
i'll just run downstaiiiiiiiirs

i'll simply remember
how pained addie gets
and 'nstead eat 9 pounds...of gummy beaaaaaars

i stopped drinking milk when i was nursing linus b/c it made him spit up a TON - but he's drinking milk fine now, and loves it!

What a fantastic poet!...although that is very sad news. Mothers truly understand the word "sacrifice" eh? I LOVE the picture of your kids at your page header. Amazing! Your posts are so great...thanks for being real, and making us laugh at the same time.

What is there to say, but WOW!!
You have some mad poetry skills.

So I shouldn't bring over the cheesecake I just baked you?
