A Baby Only a Mother Can Love

The baby's appearance was just right to his mother.

A Baby Only a Mother Can Love

 

By Elton Camp

 

The new baby had quite spotted skin

It was a long way up neck to his chin

 

He was covered with hair, head to toe

Maybe it kept the baby warm, though

 

His ears extended from his head so far

And his nose was wet & black as tar

 

His legs were disproportionately long

Though there was really nothing wrong

 

The mother’s feelings I properly read

For I saw her kiss him on his head
