Babies

But I think Liesl is the cutest baby.

Babies are the cutest babies in the world

Ode to Tenochtitlan!

Oh people of Tenochtitlan!
No one can ever say your name.
You live on a lake
For goodness sake
But you're pretty cool just the same.

You came up with a food divine;
Even the name is sublime!
It's called "chocolate"
I eat it a lot
In fact, almost all the time.

You took a seed that seemed to smell
Or something else that made you tell
That if it was crushed
And finely mushed
A perfect confection soon would gel!

The Spanish came and found your gift
Your downfall would then follow swift!
They say they didn't like
The way you would spike
Your enemies whom you had miffed.

So farewell, Aztecs, to you!
Your lake would soon be through!
Your foes would drain
Your land and plain
So they could march right through.

Up to your gates where veggies did float
Now they need not cross a moat
They took your gold
And that chocolate, oh bold!
And ate it all until they did bloat.

And so today we honor you,
The Tenochtitlan people who are now so few
But the good news for us
Chocolate without fuss!
And no spiking of foes for you.
