I am eager to teach you easy words
Not too many, just a few
I picked car and tree, plenty around us
You can learn these with hardly a fuss
You acquiesce slowly, glancing at the trees
You look for a car, eyes fluttering in the breeze
I keep persevering, hoping you will point or try
I hope for a "cah" or "tee", but something is awry
I take you on walks to excite and energize you
You listen carefully, but never follow my cue
Instead you say "eh", "appa" and "ba"
After pulling off our glasses, there's a subtle "ha"!
Your eyes say I did what I am not supposed to
Or perhaps slyly, come near for a redo?
On our recent visit you spoke gobbledygook
Yet again, my dreams of words I forsook
For now we will hide and seek and watch you scoot
Whatever you say or don't, you are a genuine hoot
