What career for little MiaA Poem by Craig ThomasMost 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 © 2012 Craig Thomas |
