Ode to an Unborn Baby by an Expectant Father

Stay in there, little man,
Stay in there as long as you can,
Cause we've been out here years and years
And all you have in store is sweat and tears.
So stay in there, little man
Stay in there as long as you can,
For we know what it's all about
If it's not the croup you'll have it'll be the gout.
You're not hunting snipers in some distant desolate hall
You're dwelling safely inside your protectors walls,
So stay in there, little man
Stay in there as long as you can,
Although we'd miss you very much
That is your cooing, cuddling and such
We don't want to have to say
That we told you so someday
For if we who've been out here are not careful
Later of dictators you'll have a hair full
So stay in there, little man
Stay in there as long as you can.
