Nine Months Gestation

Anyone from LA to New York knows babies are not brought by the stork. It takes nine months gestation for a new generation. Didn’t you learn that in school you dork?

NICELY done Robert!!! Love the point you've made about it taking nine months to create a whole new generation - it certainly paints a profound picture on the importance of life right from conception.

I'm not a dork, ha ha, well maybe I am, but it's not because I didn't know where babies come from! I think we all enjoy the process of how the baby is first conceived...and if you don't you might be a dork, or worse, whatever that might be? This is a fascinating write, a brilliant limerick! I really enjoyed reading this incredible poem this evening! Wondrous piece, Great Work!!
