Call the Midwife

T’was her ninth month and early summer,
My wife said she’d heard nothing dumber,
After she had spoken,
Her water had broken...
And me ringing up for a plumber.

Rib-cracking hilarious and classically apropos on this Mother's Day in the States. You know what, Lindsay? You're very, very good, which—the two adverbs notwithstanding—is an understatement.
