What career for little Mia

What career for little Mia

A Poem by Craig Thomas

Most precocious little Mia

Talked of onomatopoeia

The teacher thought it was quite queer

"This three year old has tricked my ear"


At four her art was quite advanced

She gave up crayons, preferring canvass

One critic said "Mia's paintings moved her"

And now her work hangs in the Louvre 


At five she took up gymnastics

Could do hand stands and tumbling tricks

the bars, the floor, vault an rhythmics

She won a gold at the Olympics


At six she taught herself to swim

She didn't take lessons but just dived in

She learnt all strokes and took her chance

Traversed the channel and on to France


Aged seven she assessed religion

and though it hypocritical, a smidgen

She made her own and all wars cease.

And over night she cracked world peace


And now aged eight she likes to sing

has a record deal and all the bling

Has loads of fans and no detractors

Is due to judge on the next x factor


Aged nine she had a computer stint

She rewrote the web and earned mint

At the start so many scoffed

Now MiaCorp owns Microsoft


And then I realised looking back 

I should have known she had the knack

She cut her chord with a single hack

Escaping the gestational sac


Okay, I might exaggerate

I'm Mia's dad, I think she's great

Whatever she does is fine with me

If it makes her smile and is harm free
