O, Ye of Little Faith

They had two children a boy and a girl They'd done their bit for a crowded world Billions then living in poverty Conditions heartbreakingly unsanitary The 'moral' thing for parents to do If having kids, stop at two So dad had a vasectomy Quickly and quite easily His tubes were tied Hs conscience satisfied... Yet just eight months later He wished he'd had an appendectomy or tonsillectomy -- anything but a vasectomy , For his baby daughter had died of SIDS and now he could father no more kids Just as painful, down the road his son came out as gay ~ No grandchildren for him; no way "Be fruitful and multiply" Was commanded not just to the fruit fly But to Adam and Eve, now mocked with mirth -- Though my poor friend with a vasectomy Knows only pain on this Earth He wants you to have as many children as you can Not to think that you're privy to the Divine plan
