Tommy, his first, was the best:
8 feet in 1 minute and 45 seconds.
At one-and-a-half it’s outstanding.
His second baby Jessica had two left feet.
She went off only after
10 seconds of ridiculous monkey walk.

Now, he had faith in little Jerry,Jr.
Good ankles, slender for his age, steady eyes,
A year and a half, on the day.

He took little Jerry,Jr. from the bed
And carried him (he had his mother’s eyes)
To the balcony and laid him on
The 1 foot wide banister
Hmmm. Good balance, allright!
At this height we have windspeed of 50
North by Northwest

And let him go.
Enthousiastically he slided to
The other end of the banister:
"Come on, little Jerry, come to Daddy!
Only ten feet, my boy, come on
Come on, my dear
Let’s go for the record!"
