Baby

she has a thing about the way
that I say Baby;
so I try my best
to say it a lot,
while trying to avoid
things like "maybe";

doing the best I can
to be the kind of man
that she wants to have
call her Baby;

and of all the availabilities,
she chooses silly old me
to bring her;

and that still knocks me flat:
to be the number one
possibility
for bringing her
and saying Baby.
