A 2-Year-Old’s Advice to a 23-Month-Old

Ask for more
when your plate is still full
and you’re done eating

Keep a pocketful of dirt
After they wash you
wipe your face with it
They’ll never get
your magic trick

Hold your plate upside down
If food falls off
gravity still works
and the world is safe
so smile

Ask why? until they shout
‘just because!’
Checkmate

The moment the macaroni
hits the disposal
scream
you want it back

Don’t say you need
to go to the bathroom
or ask ‘are we there yet?’
They’re copyright
by three-year-olds

Smear dinner on your face
to cool it
so it doesn’t burn your tongue
Then lick it off

If your eyes get
big enough around puppies
they let you pull ears

Fill your mouth with food
slowly dribble it down your chin
It takes practice

Big Brother | Poem by Seymour Shubin

by
Why Me

Ruthie began to call me
Her big brother
Which used to bother me at first
Because she was some six years older than me
But then I understood
Her son had died at twenty-two
And her husband a year before
And now her daughter…
Give me hope, she begged.
Oh how I tried.
But I was only her big brother
Not, goddamn it, God

Mike Oldham Country Music

Mike Oldham

Reverbnation Bio:
Born and raised in Nashville Tn. and exposed to music from day one, it’s no surprise that Mike Oldham is a natural singer/song writer of the finest order. Mike and his three brothers were lined up at the ripe old age of four and given their parts by their talented father who molded their talent into what would eventually take them to the big stages

Mike Oldham hails out of Nashville, Tennessee offers a good beat and good lyrics. You can visit his page on Reverbnation. Country music is about lyric. We like words and sometimes country music is poetry. Mike is refreshing.
