It Crawls

We never had the slightest clue.
Not once had thought of what we’d done.
It’s not what we set out to do.
I’m speaking of our little son.

We both agreed, to have a baby.
A little cute one.  That was all.
Never did I think that, maybe,
some day it would start to crawl.

A big pink worm, around the house.
Grabbing everything in sight.
Like a big, disastrous mouse,
all day long and half the night.

It’s bad enough he grabs and crawls.
and leaves a mess to mark his route.
He sometimes stands, but then he falls.
He then begins to scream and shout.

We tried to tie his legs and hands.
We did what we had thought was best.
I hope the family understands.
But we just had to get some rest.
