Labor
Conversation overheard
While on my morning jaunt:
(Such chutzpah only those
Of younger age would choose to flaunt.)
“We headed to the hospital,”
One guy said to his neighbor,
“’Cause it was very obvious
That WE’d gone into labor.”
I cringe to hear “We’re pregnant,”
When just she’ll display a bulge,
But this was something new, which
No one really should indulge.
I held my tongue, quite sure
I couldn’t hold in my disdain
For boasting of his “labor”
Yet with not one labor pain!
