On teething

My neck is not a teether
My ear is not one either
Do you mind if I enquire
How I've raised a half-vampire?

It is hard to keep calm
With teethmarks in your arm
But I'm sure that adoption
Isn't really an option.

And you might want to kiss her
But you just bit your sister.
Please don't do it again.
(Take deep breath, count to ten.)

Oh, how can such tiny teeth
Cause disproportionate grief?
I wish teething would end,
My poor, sore gummy friend.
