And What About the Children

Now we've made a child.
And the dire predictions
Have changed into wild
Grim
Speculations.
Yet the negatives
Are still waiting
Watching
While the relatives
Keep Right On
Touching ...
(and how much curl
is right for a girl?)

But if he's said-
At some future date-
To have a head
That's put on straight
My son won't care
About his
Hair

Nor give a damn
Whose wife I am.
