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
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
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.......
ReplyDeleteThank 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
