I Am Carrying Your Baby

A vital piece of information 
Released with some change in intonation 
By an Eve never known for variation, 
Now in some measure flabby:
The handiwork of your planted baby!
Even the busiest guy sure to stand still 
The never-ably-shown by actors with skill, 
An upper cut men not ready for the story:
For the Don Juan seeking some other glory! 

“How dare you say “You’re carrying my baby:
Where had we met for it, at which lobby?”
The ecstatically received by dreamers of it,
The low-sperm counts procreatively unfit:
The quickest embrace of a woman for rushed kisses, 
One or two breakable property in accidental pieces… 

The liable-to-kick-start a shot-gun wedding, 
In bridal dress a woman one had been bedding; 
In The West, lawyers for a paternity suit 
Against the guy distancing his fruit.
