When I Had A Uterus

When I had a uterus
The two of us
Went everywhere
Despite the cramps
To school and back
To sleepover camp

When I had a uterus
The two of us
Roamed the world
London, Venice,
Parts of France
On a Greek isle
We disco-danced

When I had a uterus
The two of us
Made little boys
Who cried and pooped
On the driveway
They shot some hoops

When I had a uterus
The two of us
Sighed a sigh
And faced the truth
That one of us had
Outlived our youth

  1. I love this Carol! A sonnet-- an ode to uteri-- yours and all the others, well used, and now discarded. Old friends, cast aside as the next chapter unfolded. Alas poor Urick.......

    1. Thank you Dr. Mick. You know how sentimental I get about lost body parts. Next I'll write an ode to my Gallbladder if I can come up with something that rhymes with it. xo
