Baa Baa Time

Baa Baa Time

A Poem by Norma M Sutton


Baaaa, Baaa, shrill little voices call to me.

A tiny hoof steps on my toe baaa, baa

Baaaa, Baaa, tiny little mouths pull on my clothes.

A tiny little nose searches for a udder low baaa, baa

Standing me on my tippy toes.


Among the clammering voices

Bottles prepared

Here I stand

They suck on dangling hand

Fingers wet and sticky

Now for the juggling bit

Two hands, four hungry mouths


Bottle one between my thighs

Dark brown head takes hold

Nebula the Ober wonder

Nearly pushing me asunder


Bottle two between my knees

Golden head and floppy ears

Snickerdoodle drools sloppily

Milky foam trickles down for sticky shoes down under


Bottle three in between hand and knee

Pretty white head grabs hold

Cream Puff greedily chugs

With steady little tugs


Bottle four held next to me

Pale head impatient baa gives

Tiri Mi Sue chugs along too

Never long to chew


So faster than bottle preparing takes

Bottles empty now are

Happy kids dance and run

Until next feeding comes

I'll bet it took some practice to be able to do that. Being a guy, I'd probably design some sort of belt with bottles hanging from it, but your way really gets you a lot more involved and in the middle of things. Now I want a ba-ba with coffee in it.

I love this. You showed me something that I would never have imagined. They must be absolutely adorable ... but they must leave you a mess.

One little niggle. In the last stanza, I think you want "than" instead of "then" ... yes?
