Okay, it’s time to fess up.  I’m a “youtube-a-holic,” and I think this problem is too huge for medical professionals to help me overcome.  Last night, I spent about an hour looking at laughing baby videos.  Somewhere in the middle of this excursion, I ran into the hilarious clip shown below.  This must be a very popular video because quite a few other people have copied it.  One of the copycat videos can be viewed below too.

 

I think Charlie is an aspiring cannibal, and doesn’t the second video seem kind of psychosexual in nature?  Since this is a readerly and writerly blog, I’ve decided to end today’s post with the following cannibalistic poem:

Dreadful 

Someone ate the baby.
It’s rather sad to say.
Someone ate the baby
So she won’t be out to play.
We’ll never hear her whiney cry
Or have to feel if she is dry.
We’ll never hear her asking “Why?”
Someone ate the baby.

Someone ate the baby.
It’s absolutely clear
Someone ate the baby
‘Cause the baby isn’t here.
We’ll give away her toys and clothes.
We’ll never have to wipe her nose.
Dad says, “That’s the way it goes.”
Someone ate the baby.

Someone ate the baby.
What a frightful thing to eat!
Someone ate the baby
Though she wasn’t very sweet.
It was a heartless thing to do.
The policemen haven’t got a clue.
I simply can’t imagine who
Would go and (burp) eat the baby.
