Mike Dailey Poet Rhyme

What's In Your Teddy

What’s in Your Teddy

The latest trend in motherhood
Is bound to do the child no good
For now they place with tender care
The placenta in a teddy bear
Then place that in the baby’s bed
To nestle there beside his head
To sleep with him both day and night
But something tells me this ain’t right
For when the kid is old enough
He’ll find what they used to stuff
And fluff up Teddy then you’ll see
He’ll spend years and years in therapy

I found this blurb on the internet this morning and had to write about it.

Andrea Dietrich April 15, 2012 at 7:28 PM hahaha, VERY interesting thing you wrote about. I heard women are eating their own baby's placenta for their health. Good grief!

Ilene Bauer April 15, 2012 at 3:21 PM ha! this is hilarious - both the topic and the poem. i've never heard of this but it reminds me of a pregnancy book i once had that had a recipe for placenta stew in it. great poem!
