The Birds and the Bees

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?

You tell em Robert. Cute one yet with a hidden message. A baby is a baby is a baby inside or outside the womb from the moment of conception, a living soul. Ask any woman who ever suffered a miscarriage, she will tell you she LOST A BABY WHO DIED BEFORE BIRTH. Great job my friend., God Bless, JB THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND REVIEW OF MY LATEST POST.
