“Bee” Is for Lucy at One
As we walked by the bee hives, Lucy said, “Bee!”
and waved both hands in all directions
as the bees buzzed around us.
Earlier that morning, eating blueberries with yogurt,
she said, “Bee!!"
B is for blueberry too,
and Lucy loves them!
Then that evening, eating supper at Paul Bunyan Cafe,
she looked up at the giant head mounted on the wall
and said, “Bee!”
B is for buffalo of course!
"Bee" can be an ant,
a speck on the table,
and a giant buffalo
At age One,
Lucy has a lot of homonyms!

Lucy’s Cock-a-Doodle-Doo
When Lucy hears the rooster
trumpet out his boastful cock-a-doodle-doo
she tunes her voice to a higher pitch
and sings out her own doodle-doo,
a beautiful, recognizable word--
that I can’t match up with letters of the Roman alphabet.
