Undercover re: baby book poem

I remember seeing a cute baby book poem in Undercover's bio back in the day. I just searched for her bio, and the poem is gone.   I havent seen undercover on the boards in awhile, so if anyone else has a poem they could share, that would be great.  It was a poem asking guests to bring books instead of cards at the baby shower.  Thanks!

Re: Undercover re: baby book poem

  • I just got invited to a babyshower and this was in the invite:

    Although greeting cards are nice,
    they are only read once or twice,
    but a storybook is a treasure,
    that will always give pleasure.
    So instead of a greeting card to be put aside,
    please bring a book for Baby, with your name inside.

     

    I think it is a great idea!  Hope this is what you are looking for.

  • Oh!!! Awesome idea! I'm stealing it too!

  • The one I used said something abotu creating a literature lover, but I can 't find it. Here's some I still had on my computer:

    <<

    As (Mother-to-be's name) due date is coming near,
    We're inviting friends and family dear.
    To choose a favorite story or fairy tale
    That you would like Baby ________ to hear.
    Instead of a card, please let (mother-to-be's name)look,
    At your special choice of a book,
    and then to Baby _________ she will read
    With all the love a newborn will need.
    So with a personal touch, please choose a book
    And in it then your name do put.
    It need not cost more than a card
    Just pick a favorite, it shouldn't be hard.


    I want to be a bright child
    As smart as I can be.
    That is why I'm hoping
    My mom will read to me.
    If you plan to bring a card
    Please take another look,
    I would like to learn my ABC's
    From your favorite storybook.
    Please sign your name
    As your personal touch.
    Baby ________ thanks you
    Beary, beary much.

    Or replace the last paragraph with the following:

    Please add your name and a note
    Then I'll know you've done your part.
    Some day I'll surely thank you
    From the bottom of my heart.


    Although cards are nice
    They're read once or twice
    Maybe three or four times at best
    A book is a treasure
    Forever and Forever
    So instead of a card
    To be put aside
    Please give the little baby
    A book with your name inside
    It will be read to our little tyke
    Before bed each night
    And we will thank you
    Forever and Forever!


    A card is nice, its sentiment sweet,
    But a book will keep baby on her feet.
    For years to come, baby will read
    Longing for stories will never be a need.
    A shelf full of wisdom for all to give,
    For baby to keep as long as she shall live.
    Filling the shelf should not be hard,
    If you would please sign a book instead of a card.
