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!
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.
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.
