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)
