Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Contrasting Baby Showers

Baby shower for popular Jodie
Fifty-six presents, games, prizes, 
Lots of laughter, thirty-two co-workers in attendance
Hilarity rings out bringing in two more co-workers

Two weeks later
Same company
Same invitees.
Different mom-of-honor.

Baby shower for shy Pam.
Five gifts, three co-workers show up.
Two games, difficult to play with only three.
Lots of left over cake. Feelings of embarrassment.
Sad comparison for Pam had been to Jodie's shower

Line Gauthier February 6, 2020 at 8:08 AM Ouch. Well penned, Caren. Caren Krutsinger February 7, 2020 at 5:34 AM Thank you Line. This actually happened. Luckily, I was not there to see it due to a family crisis that day. But I heard about it from all three of them.
