O why do I love my baby
Is it because she swallowed
All the minnows is it
Because when we spilled over laughing
Dolphins emerged from my mouth
Is it because she went swimming naked
With the sirens and came home
Covered in sea snakes
Is it because she screams
If zucchini touches her plate
Or if I say zucchini
Or if I hide in a basement closet
And think of a zucchini
Is it because she recovered
A severed foot from the wreckage
Is it because she dances like she has 3 feet
And 9 arms
And sings like she has 12 voices
why do i love my baby
