Labor

Conversation overheard

While on my morning jaunt:

(Such chutzpah only those

Of younger age would choose to flaunt.)

 

“We headed to the hospital,”

One guy said to his neighbor,

“’Cause it was very obvious

That WE’d gone into labor.”

 

I cringe to hear “We’re pregnant,”

When just she’ll display a bulge,

But this was something new, which

No one really should indulge.

 

I held my tongue, quite sure

I couldn’t hold in my disdain

For boasting of his “labor”

Yet with not one labor pain!
