The facts of making babies teacher struggled to explain The birds and bees confused them so she started once again Analogies and metaphors the order of the day And when the home bell rang she gladly sent them on their way Little Lucy left the school and stood outside the gate Her phone rang and her dad said I’m afraid I’m running late I left the office early but the car broke down again But I won’t be too long for I’m already on the train She told him that today she’s learned how babies all got made But then her dad spoke quickly as his voice began to fade My train is going in a tunnel so we’ll lose our signal, maybe And Lucy said does Mummy know you’re bringing home a baby

Chuckle, CHUCKLE? You surely don’t refer to my deadly serious social comment regarding the abysmal state of education in our great nations. This was supposed to win me my doctorate in anthropological theory. Or perhaps not. ;-) Glad you enjoyed, Emilia. Terry
