THE TRUGS


The trugs are now empty
the teddies are gone
I wonder what will happen
who'll come along?


A curly haired Baby
 has come into view
He's crawling right to them
drawn by their hue


He sits struck in wonder
at what do they do
George crawls to join him
and wonders that too!


Quinn looks at George
George grins right back
The wheels in their heads
are on the same track!


So Quinn launches forward
and flies through the air
Not a trug is left standing
now these two are there


The trugs are all over
Quinn's on the floor
The boys start to giggle
they want to play more


When Quinn pulls himself up
He's wearing a hat!
A trug has decided
to counter attack!


George thinks it's funny
so he gets one to
and while he's at it
he gets him a shoe!


Quinn's now standing
in trugs red and yellow
when he starts to wobble
he lets out a bellow!


Elton Ron  heard him
and comes crawling in
Wondering why Quinn
is making that din!


 Quinn loses his balance
and falls to his back
Elton Ron's already
selected his hat !


It's covered his eyes so he pushes it up
to see brother Quinn legs all a muck
The boys do giggle then laugh out loud
Playing with trugs is best in a crowd!



The boys are still laughing
when mum wanders in
She's followed the noise
what she finds makes her grin


Cos George looks so sweet
Blue trug on his head
His eyes are twinkling
still dressed for bed


Quinn looks to Mum
and holds up his thumb
looking so happy at
what he's just done!


 And sweet  Elton Ron
so pleased to be home
Playing with his brothers
no longer alone


So there you have them
Babies one two and three
all wearing trugs
happy as can be!

  2. Two of my favourite things combined in one post......Sasha babies with Denise's 'poetry in motion!'
    So pleased that Quinn decided to return from Shelly's rather than be adopted by another family as he's an adorable little rascal who tends to cause fun and laughter and havoc wherever he goes.

    This post reminds me of the Watch with Mother BBC TV programme for the pre-school children 'Bill and Ben, the Flower Pot Men' (that I used to have to watch with my daughter at 11-11.15am once a week, the other four days it was Andy-Pandy and Teddy, Trumpton, The Herb Garden and The Magic Roundabout).... with Elton Ron returning home from his foot modelling for Auntie Gill's knitted baby socks to play the part of 'Little Weed!'

    1. Thank you Kendal. :) I to am pleased I came to my senses and had Quinn returned after foolishly sending him off to Shelly's where he was nearly purchased but sale fell through!!
      I also watched those children's programmes with my sisters and also my girl's. I remember the wooden tops from my childhood and for some reason I took a dislike to spotty dog!!!

  3. Yeaaaah Dee, you're back in the prose!!! I loved this post as today I have also been playing with my baby, Bertie, and although he is an 'only baby' and probably likely to remain that way, I think they're cute now and am enjoying him too! So it was brilliant to see your three babies playing as only babies know how, with the trugs on their heads and feet!!!! I loved your poem too, it was all most perfect!!!

  4. Trugs, babys and poems - what do we need more in the morning *g

    (Goethe said something similiar:
    "Man soll alle Tage wenigstens ein kleines Lied hören, ein gutes Gedicht lesen, ein treffliches Gemälde sehen und, wenn es möglich zu machen wäre, einige vernünftige Worte sprechen."

    (One should try daily to give a listen to a little song, read a good poem, looking at a splendid painting and -if possible- say some sensible words.)

    1. Thanks Anne :)
      Love what Goethe said and sounds like a good way to start at day ! but I would probably fail on the say some sensible words.. :)
