A Birth With Class

Mar 11, 2016
I signed up for some classes.
They’ll teach me how to ‘birth.’
I’ve never heard such folly,
In all my life on earth.
The Bible says four-thousand years,
And science even more,
That women have been giving birth.
What do they have in store?
I hear they teach you how to breathe,
To get more air, I guess.
And how to cope with pain a bit,
And overcome the stress.
So I will go each day to class,
And listen up real well.
That I might know just how to look,
And how to scream like hell!
