First Nappy

First nappy


I remember that first nappy,
best described as wet and crappy;
‘though it stank it made us happy.
It proved all systems worked.


I’m afraid we made a mess,
even got some on my chest
but all in all we did our best.
Our duty never shirked.


Prepared to wrap one round her bum,
we laid her on a clean dry one.
But then she pee'd, I'd swear for fun.
But we didn't mind.


It very soon became routine;
washed and dried, a little cream
applied to her our little dream.
It never was a bind.

Really cleverly written, especially funny when read out loud, and it does work mostly! Though for example stanza three, line three, the 'i'd swear for fun' fels a little forced, and doesn't perfectly work like most of your other lines. However, overall this is brilliant!

Thank you JRZH, so glad you liked it and thank you for your comments. It's a fun poem that was written quite quickly and I must admit that rhyme was forced
