Definite Maybe

Do you want to have a baby? I'll give you a definite maybe. Babies can cry and scream so loud. Three in one house can make a small crowd. I hope I'm not clearly misunderstood, just unsure I'm ready for fatherhood. You and I may be old jalopies, but we suffice - original copies. We could be relaxing on the grass, not changing diapers of liquid gas. Wait, it's time for you to cop a plea in what seems a tragic comedy. I never knew, when I started kissing, your birth control pills had been found missing. It seems that your little pill pack has been fully empty - pills, it does lack, and it's an open secret on the block that I've become a laughingstock, and I suppose you're thinking, honey, that this is seriously funny. Nine months later, she said smugly, it can't be yours, you're pretty ugly.

Thank you for supporting my Flash Poetry Challenge, David. Holy moly, you used all the oxymorons on the list! I love it, and you're an absolute hoot! You weren't one of the five chosen at random, but this one is a FAV for me ;-)

Haha, thanks Maria! Luckily, I don't have to make this kind of decision anymore, but you never know, there might be grandchildren down the line. :-)
