Keep Your Obnoxious Baby to Yourself

 

By Elton Camp

 

 

You may think the world revolves around your brat

But I don’t agree and think it looks like a sick rat

 

From every body opening, disgusting fluids it spews

Close contact with something like that I don’t choose

 

How can you expect an inordinate amount of praise

For a creature that’s red and has a cross-eyed gaze

 

Every few minutes it will either defecate or urinate

How could such an odious entity fail, others to irritate

 

A big part of the time it spends entirely sound asleep

Awake, there’s screaming & crying from the little creep

 

And then you have the incredible nerve to be so bold

To suggest that your baby I might somehow like to hold

 

That’s an honor that I most certainly will decline to take

Why, I had far rather pick up and hold some rattlesnake

 

Babies and dogs are two things for which I have a dislike

Given a choice, I’d prefer holding Fido over your little tyke

 

 

(Just kidding"mostly)
