Happy Tuesday after American Thanksgiving! I’m told we are officially allowed to start celebrating the Christmas season, my FAVOURITE season of all. To kick off the season, I thought I’d share with you a little poem inspired by The Night Before Christmas.
Motherlode
‘Twas early one morning
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse.
Mum and babe nestled quietly,
The babe on her breast.
She smiled down at him
A perfect moment blessed.
And then a rip roar tore
through the silence.
The gastric distress
startled like a siren.
Babe’s diaper filled with
A substance nothing like sand,
And mom hopefully prayed
she bought the leakproof brand.
And then came the truth
The diaper wasn’t ready for war
With the hot putrid liquid
That exploded galore.
It trickled down babe’s legs
And shot up babe’s back.
Mum’s outfit was compromised;
Even her hair was full of crap.
Dad came in to do
A post mortum analysis
Of the diaper’s construction
And limits of “infant”esimal calculus
A final report was concluded
But no one is confident
If it was the diaper
Or parental incompetence.
