Bundle of Joy

Doesn’t he look like his mother
And the nose, it’s his fathers you know
Look at his grin and the shape of his chin 
He’s the image of your brother Joe
The hair, there’s a lot, it’s amazing
It’s like granddads before it fell out
His lungs are so strong, well it won’t be too long
He’ll be screaming and running about
Oh bless him he’s smiling, he’s lovely
He’s so cute you could eat him for tea
His eyes, well, they’re certainly grandma’s
Pick him up, pass him over to me
He must be an absolute pleasure
New babies can bring so much joy
So what are you going to call him, 
Oh dear, so she isn’t, a boy

John Fenn, You did it!!! Your poem took me to the past and the future!!! And brought me smiles. My daughter recently e-mailed a picture of her UNBORN baby that is due in 7 weeks. And yes, there were similar lines even then. HE will be her first child. So, as I'm sure you figured out, I really like this poem. A LOT! Lovingly, Dane
