The Song of a Foetus

Why kill me, Daddy dear? Just a blob I’ll grow apace Why don’t you love me, Daddy dear? Perhaps you’ll love me, Daddy dear Mummy says you’re not too base Why kill me, Daddy dear? I feel, I hear. Inside her I am here Soon I’ll have a face why don’t you love me, Daddy dear? Six more months and I appear I feel, I hear, it’s warm in this my place Why kill me, Daddy dear? Oh, Daddy dear what is to fear? I don’t have much, just my space why don’t you love me, Daddy dear? I have appeared! I am here! A little girl am I. So full of grace Why kill me, Daddy dear? Why don’t you love me, Daddy dear?
