Child Adoption

The ever congratulated option Of willing absorption Of a blood distant, Making it yours, the next instant… In a court surfacing, All official papers filling, An affidavit swearing, One’s honest signature endorsing, Every bill handling And a parent’s face wearing… Wa-o-ow! A final elevation To parenthood And appropriate salivation Over what is adjudged good; A riddance to the worse Through some good money from one’s purse. It’s now a new scenery Of oft shouted “Da-ddy and Mu-mmy!” By some chatterbox and canary That didn’t its beginning have in your wife’s tummy Pleasantries no longer revolve Round just you and your wife For electing to brazenly involve Another life.
