the new-comer

as Lillie's binky is laid to rest,

ours has become a welcome guest.

we have of recent come to find

the sleepless nights are not that kind.

so in a flash of desperation

we ventured by moon to the Walmart-nation.

and therein we did buy her

this blessed and belov'd pacifier.

oh the anxiety that did appease

as she took the binky with graceful ease.

the cherub didn't let out another peep

and we got a full three hours sleep!

so hear ye, hear ye mothers out there,

who think another night they cannot fare,

don't be hopeless of your situation dire,

go and get the pacifier.
