Women Celebrating Born Babies

Let me tell you what women do,
After a child’s delivery is through.
The birds, too, know: they jubilate 
While animated ones ululate!

Adoration of baby simply true,
Eyes feasting on the frail thing Glad Glue
Foreplay’s sex women simulate
Hoping to future births stimulate…

A-once-childless his bad luck slew:
The same as saying ‘Reproach flew!
‘Unmarried’ to Married’ imitate,
Long celibacy to hearts palpitate…

Wriggling of waists no wasted strength, 
Face powdering taken to a length; 
“Who in the end shall look like baby?”
Talcum, help me to seem a baby!”
The powder is not free; you drop cash;
To declare one has no cash rash!
