Don'T Crush the Baby

Some babies are born bald as a cue ball
Some are born small for obvious reasons
Some are born young as it makes sense
Keep infant babies safe and out of traffic
Keep them off highways during rush hour
Keep them away from speeding vehicles

If you must, feed them, take them for a stroll
Newly laid asphalt is very hot and dangerous
It is no place to lay down a baby for a nap
They could be confused with a stone or rock  
Steamrollers move about without warning
We hope you get the drift of this story
