Mom Looked in the Stroller

By Clio Mykland

June, 2000

Mom looked into the bottom of the stroller and guess what she saw,

A baby toy, a magazine, and a parrot that goes "caw!",

Mom looked into the bottom of the stroller and oh, what she did see:

An autism book, a rotten banana, and a framed picture of me!

An umbrella, a pair of pliers, a plant in a pot,

Then she stood up and looked at me and said,

"Gee, this baby hauls a lot!"
