I'm a kitty.
Meow, meow.

FAQs and an Introduction

Why does this blog exist?
My two year old frequently says or does things that are hilarious and I felt like I needed to capture those moments in a poem, a poem technically written by me (her 28 year old mother) and done from the toddler's POV with direct lines from her.

But why?
Because I'm weird.

What poets are influencing this project?
Perhaps Allan Ginsburg?, but let's not place any blame on him for this.
 

This is Eleanor. She is currently two and adorable.

I hope you enjoy her stream of consciousness style poetry. She may be the next James Joyce! (though hopefully without the drunkenness and pretentiousness)

Momma Don't Like Pickles

You don't like pickles,
You don't like pickles!
But, oh, how I love a pickle.
I eat them,
and I love them,
and how ever quaint and adorable I find their small, round-natured deliciousness.
Momma, your eye balls match my pickle!
How wonderful for me to see,
yet all you see is a dead lifeless green. No match. No Romance.
Momma just don't like pickles.
You don't like pickles,
You don't like pickles!
