+ False Labor +

That horrible embarassing feeling
Arriving at the hospital
ready to give birth
And then  they send you home
False Labor

You think by now, I would know
The real  from the false
After five kids
And three husbands

Forget the labor
Think of the men
Think I would know a con  job
When I see it
Before making a fool of myself

Maybe I am nature’s theatrical spectacle
Amusement for the muses
Clown for the Circus
Cream for the Cake
All warm and oozing

Several comforting things
About false labor

The false labor is natures practice
For the real thing
Making you strong

Sooner or later, the real thing will come
Giving birth to all that your heart can hold
