WHEN MY FIRST SON WAS BORN

 

My wife wanted me at the birth

I had to grin and bear it and pretend

Although I had to be at the birth

I wasn’t going down the tripey end

 

I stood and stared open mouthed

Full of pride and with regrets

As he came into the world

Like a bag of screaming jiblets
