followed by his dad
a kid waddled by,
young enough
that you’d still tell his age in months
ask him anything
but don’t expect an answer
for although he talks incessantly
what he says is indecipherable
if encouraged to develop this skill,
smiles well and stands tall
this child could grow to be
a formidable leader of inestimable value

You got me here, Jack! I should have read the title more carefully, but my eyes skipped right to the word "kid." I love kids and get all mushy and dumb when I think about them.
But then I read the second and third stanza, and I'm rolling on the floor. Ha! Ha! That is sheer brilliance. Yes, it is. Don't tell me it's not, dangit. I love it. This one has just been printed for the Jack Sender file.
mushy AND dumb.
You know, that' going in your permanent file.
