Mothers Day

9 babies for Halima Cisse
Are not guaranteed to bring bliss
With nine to feed
No time to breed
A Mothers' Day she'll never miss!

We were fortunate to have two kind and thoughtful children, but I do avoid children as the majority seem troublesome! Aloha! Rico

My late wife boiled nappies on the range; with nine, would the roof withstand the steam? Aloha! Rico

Luckily, they are all still in hospital, but image the shock to the father! If that had happened to me, I wonder if I could have made it to the pub without collapsing! NINE of them, just like that! Talk about Instant family! Aloha! Rico
