Family Planning

In China, they’re delighted For the government just said They could have a second child – The old policy is dead. Though there must be celebration, There is silence there instead. Streets are practically deserted – All the Chinese are in bed!

Or in the car or in the park. I don't think it matter's if it's dark. Some call it sex.some it might perplex. But the ban's been lifted, there's no more hex. Peace. :)

There is nothing like a child to bless a house, of either sex. I can't imagine how Americans would feel about being limited to one child. I enjoyed your poem Iilene.
