She Kept Forgetting To Take the Pill Part 2

Maybe
Baby

Young cad
Is dad

Leaves her
For Fleur!

Teen mum
So glum

Up duff
Feels rough

Loo quick...
She’s  sick

Huge tum
Soon mum

Wide girth
For birth

Can’t sleep
Counts sheep

Morning...
Yawning

Foods spurn...
Heartburn 

Feels pain
Again

Again
More pain

Babe due
Needs loo

In rush
Must push

Not far
In car

With mum...
Best chum!

Log jam
Bedlam!

Head’s down
Feels crown

Mops brow
Push NOW

Babe’s born
Named Dawn

Babe screams
Mum beams

Cuts cord
In Ford!

All’s swell
Child’s well
