Ah, I Remember It Well....
T’was an upside down world,
When I was uncurled,
They counted my fingers ‘n toes
And sucked out my nose,
It was humiliating to say the least,
I looked like a ‘lil red squirmin’ beast.
Doctor hollered out “it’s a boy!”
Mama sighed “crap!” Daddy said “Joy!”
Pappy told Mama “it was money well spent”,
Till he saw.. that I was ..incontinent.
All the nurses smiling and I didn’t know why,
Till three days later they said good by.
I was a handsome young fellow though a little short,
And I sure am glad Mama didn’t abort.
Ole Doc Perry wished us all good luck,
And Daddy brought me home in the pickup truck.
Ah yes...I remember it well...
