Playing Peek-a-boo

















It doesn’t matter if you know
the child looking over her father’s shoulder.

You cover your eyes and surprise her
when you remove your hand

she lets out a squeal, dad doesn’t
know what distracts her and looks
with a warning glance,

“You’d better not be
messing with my baby girl!”

When he turns away
you cover your eyes again

then a quick move

and she lets out a belly laugh
the father decides you’re doing no harm.

A game of peek-a-boo can go on all day.
