Not necessarily my vision of children

A child born
Is an inspiration
To us all.

A child born
Is an innocent child
That's welcomed by us all.

When a baby is born
It's not the child's mistake
It's the adults.

Then again
If you're mind goes
This way, when asked

I replied in my own
Intimately style.
That a child is a
Sexual transmitted
Disease.

Sometimes my mind,
Wanders through,
What others say.

When people ask about ,
Do I like cat's or dogs.
Including babies too.

I often reply,
With a wry smile,
Of cause I do.
But I could never,
Eat a whole one.

You have a great sense of humour Alan and this is a fun piece. Children are an inspiration, but they take a lot of perspiration too. I am glad you are still enthralling us with your gems.
