A Baby Only a Mother Can Love

A Baby Only a Mother Can Love By Elton Camp The new baby had quite spotted skin It was a long way up neck to his chin He was covered with hair, head to toe Maybe it kept the baby warm, though His ears extended from his head so far And his nose was wet & black as tar His legs were disproportionately long Though there was really nothing wrong The mother’s feelings I properly read For I saw her kiss him on his head (Written after seeing a mother giraffe tending to her newborn)
