Kidnapping a Baby

She did not mean to steal that baby you see.

She only wanted to do a little trickery.

She was herself only a child no more than three.

She went and hid herself  in a tree.

Her mother called her and she ran to play.

Danced on a slippery floor and cried

she was wearing her mother’s shoes

And she could have hurt herself or died.

But instead she saw a pram with a baby who cried

She stole him and ran away to play

And they haven’t found the baby or her

Perhaps they are both dancing far away!
