Quite clearly - not just sighs and squeaks
She's testing out her vocal chords;
It's early days but she has scored!
Why cry when you can say the word?
Victorian tots were seen not heard
But my sweet niece now nods her head
And fires off 'Yes!' and 'No!' instead.
It's fun - she brings her parents joy
She's found her voice; Exciting toy!
What a vibrant learning curve to sail
As she hits each new word on the nail!
I think - how complex is the brain
It works it all out without strain
She listens; imitates with ease
And links up sounds to things she sees.
So far, it's «Mummy», «yes» and «no»
And 'milk', but soon more words will flow
The main thing is she's got the knack
It won't be long till she talks back!
