The Pain of Delivery

The day I born my pride,
I was a jackass ;when nursing him,
I was a plague ; today he flies about,
All calls me mother of Nation.

Smile in pain of delivery,
Rejoice in tackling problem;
The ovulation of congratulation,
Deeps its roots in both.

When yolks  dare eagles’ beaks, they
Grow combs and crow; they prune their
Breasts and bristle up their wings,but
Rot is the egg in brood which for  fear
Of eagles’claws weeps not to be a chick.

Richard Lamoureux March 1, 2014 at 8:49 AM A most ingenious piece. I thought "the ovulation of congratulation" would fit nicely. I very much enjoyed this piece Kayod.
