Simple Simon
I'm watching my two year-old grandson.
The kid's always seemed a bit stupid
To me. He barely talks. His idea of fun
Is pushing the first wheeled toy that he
Finds so fast as he can across the floor
Until he runs into a wall or a table. He
Asks the same questions over and over.
Last night, I watched him trying to drink
By putting his hand into a cup and licking
The liquid off of his fingers. He's not
A bad kid. He's just not very bright,
Though both of his parents are.
