Sex of My Preferred Child
If I was ever to be blessed
With the gift of an only child
And I was given the option
To choose the sex also too
I would choose to have a baby girl
I know a Father is supposed to want a boy
A son to carry on the family name
But given a choice I would prefer a girl
My sister was blessed with 3 daughters
I have 3 beautiful nieces
So you think I would want a boy
To play and do thing's with
But who is to say a daughter wouldn't like football
Or the thing's I love as much as a boy would
And no Father gets the privilege of giving his son away
Or can be touched by the joy and pain
Of a daughter giving birth like his wife did
Mother's son
But Daddy's little girl
And girls don't stray to far from home
If they come from a loving Mother and Father
As they want there children to know the same
Love from whence they came
And call upon them for babysitting
Because as much as a child feels love
It pales into comparison seeing Mum and Dad
Looking after there Grandchildren
Wondering why they love them more than they did you ?
And the simple reason must be this
They get to give them back to you
And think they love you and want nothing back
Apart from the odd biscuit and play toy
And boy's need entertaing
Where as girl's are far less anoying
The only down side I can see
Is if when said daughter
Becomes old enough to find boy's
Boyfriend material
Then all bets are off
They better all sod off
Until she is way above the age of 33
Or she meets a suitor on which we both agree
And I don't want to kill
But for now ill dream of her becoming a Nun
With the only means of having a child is via a sperm donnor
Im sorry but no father worth his salt
Could ever stomach the though of there daughter taking part
In were children come from
That is the only reason I would want a boy
Because when a boy brings a girl home
His father thinks that's my boy
Well done son you are your fathers son
But when a daughter starts courting
And brings a boyfriend home
The 1st thing that comes to mind
Is where is a good place to hide a body
If you hurt or touch my daughter
I am proficient in all manners of the art of torture
If you wish to remain alive
Better have her home by 5
Remember I am a boy and was once young too
So picture me if you hormones start raging
And your hands or mind start a wondering
I know where you live
And as a father
When it comes to my daughter
I do not poses the capacity to forgive neither forget
