A New Trick
"Vino, I'm wondering why
I didn't hear a cry, not even a whimper
from you and Sofia,
when you were given your flu shots
by Dr. Eva, your pedia,
last Saturday. Tell me what's your secret?"
Vino puckered his lips and began to blow
like an expectant mother
about to deliver a baby,
and weathering all the contractions
that come minutes apart
till the baby's head pops into the world.
"Mommy Tricia taught us the trick, so no "aray!" he reveals, smiling mischievously!
