Welcome New Baby

Welcome my baby welcome,
Yes, be a great read, come,

Tell the world your big bold tale,
Your birth is greater than a sale,

Surely, the dead must be sobbing,
Be a rude awakening to the robbing!

I think many here thought you had a baby or perhaps I misunderstood the poem myself.

Richard, after going through the comments again, l am tempted to agree with you. Anne-Lise hit it on the head, It is a "book baby".
