Sosoetry - Bigger Anand

I wrote this for my nephew on his 6th birthday. Also wrote one on his 2nd birthday.

Anand keeps on growin’ and growin’
already bigger than his pal Rowan
his gigantic noggin is really big
and in his schnoz he likes to dig
his teeth are white and pearly
and his hair is red and curly
most times he’s sweet as a bird
some times he’s a big stinky turd
he gets the occasional grumpy bout
then proceeds to whine and pout
at times he freaks out like the hulk
other times he’ll just sit and sulk
he tries real hard to be bossy
like he’s in command of a posse
I tend to think he is full of poo
when he claims to know Kung Fu
like a little girl he’s bound to squeal
when I suggest we play with Playmobil
he loves to play with his Lego
or sometimes a bow and arrow
often he doesn’t listen so good
this would not please Robin Hood
Anand seems to really admire Anakin
even if he’s nastier than Rumpelstilskin
he doesn’t care about the wherefores
all he knows is that he loves Star Wars
after school he will watch Avatar
then rock out on his toy guitar
he really clears out his windpipes
singing along to the White Stripes
to ABBA he likes to dance
often in just his underpants
no one will ever claim Anand
is any sort of cultured gourmand
he won’t try mashed potatoes
but will eat boogers from his nose
