Lilyism
Lily wakes up prematurely
make-up lipstick powder nose
Lily pads and prowls the lounge
pirouettes expensive toes
Lily looks askance at laundry
socks and knickers decompose
Lily puts her records on
harmonises talent shows
Lily practises her smile
wearing pantomimic clothes
Lily taps and points her feet
at the apostolic rows
Lily makes her fingers snap!
the boys adopt a slavish pose
Lily disses little sister
scratches hisses bruised egos
Lily chats on MSN
emoticonic overdose
Lily is beside herself
third person singular she goes

I like this Ray. You sound both loving and amused by your small daughter. And I'm sure this is the second poem in recent days to have the word emoticonic in it (and I still don't know what it means!)
