On the Day Her Water Broke

On the Day Her Water Broke (A Silly Poem)

{Written while waiting anxiously for my daughter, Zoey to be born.}

The oceans awoke
And birds told jokes
On the day her water broke
The tulips spoke
With James K. Polk
On the day her water broke

The bees drank Coke
While androids smoked
On the day her water broke
The older folks
Watched old Gunsmokes
On the day her water broke

The apples croaked
Under a tyrant's yoke
On the day her water broke
An obnoxious bloke
Was Facebook poked
On the day her water broke

The piano choked
As it played baroque
On the day her water broke
A cat in a cloak
Nearly had a stroke
On the day her water broke

My spleen misspoke
And my poem was revoked
On the day her water broke
The pregnant wife alas awoke
Her bedsheets soaked
On the day her water broke
