Baby Sale
Daddy and I went to the hospital
To see Mommy, yesterday
Daddy told me Mommy wasn’t sick
She had a baby and everything’s ok
I really couldn’t understand
This whole having a baby stuff
So I asked Mommy where babies came from
She said making me understand would be tough
What she did tell me was
Mommies went to hospitals to get a baby
And there they got a boy or girl
Or, sometimes, one of each, maybe
I thought about it for a while
I told Mommy, I think I understand
You come to the hospital to get a baby
And you have to take what you can
I said it sounds like shopping for something special
Sometimes you settle for something other
Mommy smiled and kissed my cheek
I said…
“I hope you got her on sale. I would have preferred a baby brother”
