A Baby

A mum packed her baby
And threw on the way
Travelling in a car
I read in the paper.
A mum left her baby
Outside the bin
Used public toilets
I read in the paper.
A mum flew away
With her new friend
She has five children
I read in the paper.
A mum sold her baby
And searching the peace
Believes in a religion
I read in the paper.
A mum divorced her husband
And killed a child
She was mentally up-set
I read in the paper.
I can’t afford baby
A baby is too expensive
I amn’t a baby
I read in the paper
