When I could not within you play.
Our favorite thing to do was bounce,
But you won't hold another ounce.

Oh bouncer, how I've loved thee long;
Oh bouncer, what a sad, sad song!

In you I found my inner peace,
A place to be wrapped in soft, soft fleece.
Your jungle print, with hippos too;
Sometimes your vibrator made me poo.

Oh bouncer, how I've loved thee long;
Oh bouncer, what a sad, sad song!

In you I got my first haircut,
so my style would not be in a rut.
You've been with me through ups and downs,
but without you I will be all frowns.

Oh bouncer, how I've loved thee long;
Oh bouncer, what a sad, sad song!

You helped me drain my stuffy nose,
especially when I took this pose.
Even when I barfed on me,
you helped me find tranquility.

Oh bouncer, how I've loved thee long;
Oh bouncer, what a sad, sad song!

My momma's pushed you to the limit,
but the manual said 25 lbs, darnit!
This impressive poundage has come so fast,
I can't believe this bounce will be our last.

Oh bouncer, how I've loved thee long;
Oh bouncer, what a sad, sad song!

You've been here since the very first,
I'm just so sad I think I'll burst.
We've had these good times and these bad,
but saying good-bye just feels so sad.

Oh bouncer, how I've loved thee long;
Oh bouncer, what a sad, sad song!

Good-bye old friend. We'll miss you. Thanks for all the laughs.

Robyn? Is that you? Are you seriously a poet? Did you know it?
haha
That is my extent!
Whoa - that almost brought a tear to my eye;)
It definitely brought a tear to mine. My baby's growing up!
Do you have plans of publishing your posts? You probably could make big bucks!
Robyn!!
What a great poem! You are so creative. How long did it take you to come up w/that little ditty?
Give my condolences to Jacob and his beloved bouncer.

I love all of the photos and especially like that 2nd to last one the best-its the one I remember seeing Jacob for the first time! Wow!

Robyn my baby is only 16 pounds and he broke our brand new bouncer. I think that is awesome that your child is more durable with toys!
