Shannon Scott StebbinsHappines will arrive soon
Together with earth you go
Love, tenderness, are the
Moments you will share so often
Blessed is the child so
Beauty in all forms
It has never been so good.
Wait, b.s., I don't recommend it.
A baby? Are you nuts, you jagbag?
Get out. No, don't leave the
Marriage you flippant ape
Get out of the house
And breathe nature
Thousands of diapers I have changed
Okay with it
It's the stripping of
My authentic self, my human-
ness, my freedom, my dreams
Wiseman say "a rock can't grow anything"
But it can rest alone, on the curb
Enjoy, you sucka
Fatherhood is the most amazing, profound and beautiful thing I have ever done and...I don't recommend it.
