anything the little fingers will reach that seems attractive and tantalizing to a child. nice poem

it's sneaking around for a late night snack, then it becomes trying to sneak out of the house. LOL!

I really enjoyed this poem but the 3rd verse jarred a little:

Sinking into his chair contentedly,

Holding his glass of scotch contentedly,

It would be petty to mark a good poem down for one word did interfer a lot for me.

well I am twisted, I thought she was reaching for his gun. There is something sexual about this poem, made me think that Dad is gonna get it.AS

This demonstrates strong descriptive skills. You create good images and build tension. But this is more an exercise of those talents than a finished poem. It is a teaser and not complete.

I agree about the double "contentedly". Changing one would improve the poem. Most writers only repeat a word when doing so serves a distinct purpose of emphasis or list building. (You do this nicely in your "org a sm" for example.)

You might also want to consider replacing numbers (11, 20, 2nd) with their word-forms. (This is a thing of taste as much as convention.)
