9 months [for bad behavior!]

For his 9 month birthday,
Noah decides to go buck wild.
--
Like an unruly lout at a club:
He's screaming,
fussing,
fighting,
complaining to the management,

eating constantly,
demanding complementary beverages,
grabbing boobs,
biting,
pinching,
staying up ALL NIGHT,

and nearly getting asked to leave the premesis.

[ Fortunately,
again,
his good looks save the day.]

Golden Latke

Peruvian potatoes as yellow as an Ayacucho sunrise.
Onions so sweet that,

THEY cry.
