From The Workship Collection Joe My Belvoed Beau

My parents did not know  

About  Joe 

My beloved beau  

And what the maturing character did  

Making him a heroic paternal twit   

One day with spring in the air  

Did not have a care  

Joe  

My beloved beau 

Visited General Dollar  

Feeling the tightness to the matrimony collar  

Passing through an electronic open door   

Walked the retail floor  

Blue lights suddenly went off  

Everybody around him started to cough  

“Is there a doctor in here?”  

Someone called, swelling a tear  

Joe 

My beloved beau  

Took control  

Acting very bold  

Grabbed a ‘to do list’ pad  

Using a provider pen, the future  Dad  

Scribbled and scrabbled  

Writing, looked like baby babble  

“Did you pick up what you needed?”  

Inside voice greeted  

Little bit of this  

Got a kiss  

Little bit of that  

Bride got fat  

Soon there was a little one  

From a night of gymnastics fun  

Joe  

My beloved beau  

You made me  

The aqua siren shined with glee  

Boy is on the way  

Delivery message did  say  

Pushing the basket  

Not masking it  

Joe  

My beloved beau  

Smiled  

Arriving, ranked and file  

Unloading the necessity pile  

Diapers and stuff  

Child bearing is going to be tough  

Only a few months from now  

No longer looking like a cow  

Two  of us  

Will take the bus  

Pinching pennies a must  

But will come together again  

Then send  

Another take out order  

Requesting a daughter  

Natural in pink  

Schooled in, performing the luring wink  

Creating more  

Patron traffic, visiting the family friendly department store
