Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Nine Babies

Seven babies expected - what bliss
Two more hiding, how did the scans miss.
Nine babies born to Hamila Cisse

It’s an enormous surprise indeed
Now there are nine tiny babes to feed
nine nappy changes are guaranteed!

These nine babes will need specialized care
Nonuplets are exceedingly rare
Will their parents employ an au pair!

Susan Woodrow May 11, 2021 at 3:06 PM good grief to the nineoplets and good read to your write...incredible...I thought the Octomum had the record! :) Jan Allison May 11, 2021 at 3:42 PM I heard about the story and was amazed that even with today's technology they weren't able to see all 9 babies, I can imagine the dad passing out when they kept on bringing out more babies!:-) hugs jan xx
