The baby carriage blues

2/24/2014

Listen to me dear readers

and just think

of my woes

when you take one look

at my face

and curl your toes.

Who said that babies

had to be handsome

or always cute?

So if you test

my theory

there is no dispute.

They said that my mum

reconsidered

on her fateful day

to push me back in

and hide me

out of the way.

It was not good for my morale

to take

such a hit.

Unfortunately

I survived

with my self-deprecating wit.

She soon gave me sunglasses,

a fake nose

and a beard

but as you can imagine

on a baby

it's just weird.

My mother soldiers on

and takes me  out

in a tank.

It's a baby carriage

covered in metal

along with a dubious rank.

So I may be the world's

ugliest baby

but when push comes to shove

there is nothing quite like

a mother's unconditional

love!

Cute Epi-c piece, here that left me smirking! I've never seen an ugly baby, but you sure paint a vivid picture of one in sunglasses, a fake nose and a beard!

Epi - all mothers think their baby is beautiful, even when the little one is what others would classify as 'homely." Inside each baby is a beautiful soul. What happens between birth and the first few years of life is so important, so that the homely ones can discover that kind actions, not beauty, is what makes people feel worthwhile and good.

Epi, all babies are beautiful if for nothing else but their innocence and zest for life. I have, however, seen one ugly baby in my lifetime. He looked like a little troll!

Don't recall ever seeing an ugly baby, but you're right about a mother's love!

Ain't it the sweet truth, so glad Mum didn't push you back in. Ha..Love it!
