Baby's First Eviction

I’ve been amazed by the cycle of life
  To sit in the womb and observe would be nice
 I wish I could shrink so very small 
That the eye couldn’t see 
I would climb through a mother’s lifeline door 
And watch her newborn and keep it company 
Before, the doctor could detect 
I would already know the sex
 I would frolic in the bag of jelly
 I would make baby feel comfy and cozy
 Oh, what a miracle inside the belly
 I could never take the place of God 
Whatever, baby may be is his job 
But curious as I am there’s no deception
I would’ve loved to be there at the moment of
 conception . I would arrange the DNA 
To reach the highest peaks of perfection
 Then, I would iron each pair of genes
 Next, I would have a white glove inspection
 I would play musical chairs with the chromosomes
 Each and every night 
When time is nigh, and I’m satisfied
 Then baby is ready for flight 
I will stand behind with my foot
 I would give a kick so swift and quick 
To make sure everything came out alright
 I sincerely hope I don’t sound mean 
It’s only a daydream 
To raise suspicion is not my mission 
But, if baby is fully grown, and he can breathe on his 
own I may start to like his home and claim it as my own
 Why not give baby his first eviction?
