Three Pregnant Women
Three pregnant women on the block
Gave birth a week apart.
March 20th, a Monday then,
Was how it all did start.
That’s Robin’s birthday; next to come
Was Mark, by just a week.
The 27th was the date
His folks got their first peek.
Another Monday followed and
The final baby came.
Her birthday’s April 3rd and maybe
You can guess her name.
If not, I’ll tell you – I’m the third
And though we once were friends,
We grew apart, for oftentimes,
That’s how the story ends.
But still, I wish a happy day
To pals I knew from birth,
In honor of our childhood,
For whatever it is worth.
