Got knocked up
Yup
Boy inside
Little old me
Still smoking cigs
Still drinking beer
Cursing loud enough
For the embryo to hear
Gotta learn him good.
Baby pops out
hemorrhoids hurt
Little guy
Looks like a wrinkled turd
Not really
Sweet little guy
With a brown and a blue eye
One for his mom and one for this guy
He was swimming in beer
Cursing he would hear
What did he learn?
Nothing I fear.
His first words were
“I love you mom.”
