Patterson, New Jersey Circa December 1st, 1957

amidst cavorting delightfully, enjoying thorough
frolicking gingerly, foreign hick hating slo
hip-hopping insouciantly sustaining row

biological status quo
kvetching lamely moreso mother became pro
naturally physically rumbling, 
   heard all the way in Oslo

   supposedly twerking, undulating vivaciously
wantonly x2c wisely yielded – nada no
   zona pellucida anchored byte size seaman,
   potent embryonic fetal moe 
newlweds nocturnal merriment 
   moma's Menses marked march 1959 

   lovingly joyusly, insemination happened ha low 
bullseye clenched diploid fertilization 
   guaranteed germinating heiress 
   while squaqking lichen Apache at Diablo 
   ma late mother did should know

upon awakening upon tautly stretched exertion 
   during dilating cervix, which jiggled like jello
three score orbitz round el sol, warmed cockles 

   and muscled away brutally cold degrees 
   tab billed an igloo,
   or circa six decades 
   drafted exuberant ho...ho...ho...
cuz, i.e. thencee at 362nd day 

   baby in belly did fully grow
December first nineteen fifty seven 
   sanctioned newly minted papa  
   to sing a capella for he's a jolly good fellow

   quintessential nascent 
   kickstarter heady everflow 
though wintry dark, 
   a “hi” beam illuminated 
   newborn girl with dayglow

sans, mechanical engine ear 
   papa (an honorably discharged army vet) 
   all spit and shine groom, 
   who wed a bride somewhat callow

first time parents with giddiness did saul fully bellow
Boyce and Harriet Harriet countenance 
   twas (like an elf on Christmas eve) all aglow.
