If I had a baby
She’d have a thesaurus
Instead of a rattle
And a dictionary
Instead of silver spoons
She’d read books in the womb
Crying at sad endings
Lusting after vampires
While learning to speak French
Even before she’s born
She could out-curse sailors
On any continent
Polysyllable girl
Writing everything down
Taking no prisoners
Use your words, baby girl.
Would you call her Poly?!?
Absolutely.
