When a Little Infant BABY, Finally, is Fast  Asleep
you have to, very Carefully, and Silently, Shallowingly, Be So, Quietly, Breathing, you can't have any Distractions or Noisy Wheezing, or Sudden, Sneezing, or,  Hiccuping, or any sound ---AT-ALL--not, even, a Burping, Chirping, Singing, Hummin, or---A--single--Little--p---e--e--e--e--P



At the even slightest movement or sound, the little Sweet, BABY,--AWAKE--they will--Become

Then, your ready set go--and, So, Gently, So, Caefully pick, them UP cuddle UP snuggle  UP, and try to sit in a Rocking chair and rock and roll gently gently back and forth--but--Usually, the  BABIES, they know, and  they want you UP on your feet, so you walk back and forth back and forth , hum tap dance sing, you will do any goofy thing to put them to sleep so Deep, so you can too--SLEEP--so, sometimes in minutes of ten,---OR--- hours of two, until they are fast deep sleep, tuckered out and snoring and--Done



Then so quietly you walk so carefully holding your every breath and walking as if on ---tippy toes ---and ---egg shells,--- then so carefully you place them in Crib, and PRAY, and HOPE, that they will stay asleep and give you a--BREAK

But just when you think that you are safe and sound and getting ready to take a break and --Lay--, down, again, they are---AWAKE---and need to be picked back UP,  snuggled  UP, cuddled, UP,  and fed then changed, then rocked and rolled hummed to, and back and forth and back and forth, ---and------Thats----the--NewBorn--BABY----State
