My Baby
Posted: December 13th, 2008, 8:25 pm
I call my baby Bengladesh
so I don't have to refer to her as Darfur
a man could starve to death
on her good cooking
she can do accupunture with her stiletto heels
and my mind reels at her logic
I call my baby the Sea of Tranquility
because she is on the moon
I call her Tumor for short
because she is inoperable
sometimes I call her Natural Disaster
because she is so improbable
I call my baby Hurricane
category five in her brain
I call my baby Stolichnaya
an ethanol supertrain
I call my baby Greenland
if I called her Antarctica
she would freeze me out
so I just whisper Alaska
I call my baby the Nobel Prize
she cut her teeth on dynamite
I call my baby Alcatraz
I just can't escape her
so I don't have to refer to her as Darfur
a man could starve to death
on her good cooking
she can do accupunture with her stiletto heels
and my mind reels at her logic
I call my baby the Sea of Tranquility
because she is on the moon
I call her Tumor for short
because she is inoperable
sometimes I call her Natural Disaster
because she is so improbable
I call my baby Hurricane
category five in her brain
I call my baby Stolichnaya
an ethanol supertrain
I call my baby Greenland
if I called her Antarctica
she would freeze me out
so I just whisper Alaska
I call my baby the Nobel Prize
she cut her teeth on dynamite
I call my baby Alcatraz
I just can't escape her
