+ 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
