Baby Beard

In last nights dream I was babysitting
A small child whose sides were splitting
I made him laugh oh so much
Tickling him with a delicate touch
The weird thing was his mother was there
Sat opposite me in a comfortable armchair
As I looked at her I began to doubt
Whether she really wanted to go out
Then things really began to get weird
I noticed the little baby had a beard
It was plain and there for all to see
A rather well groomed goatee
I thought for a minute he was upside down
I ran to him to turn him back round
But he really did have some chin fluff
This was powerfully weird stuff
So now i have got it in my head
Never to eat cheese before going to bed!
(Mind you
I might try blue!)
