February fourth nineteen ninety nine...

 

Signified birth of our second bundle of joy

whereby linkedin chromosomes betwixt

the missus and I intimately expressed ourselves

and me would alloy

courtesy meiosis the miracle

of human reproduction would deploy

distribution of genetic material.

 

Full term newborn occured

Suburban Mercy Hospital birthplace

(2701 Dekalb Pike, Norristown, PA 19401)

nine months after spermatozoon gave chase

to ovulating ova

(cue all around the mulberry bush...

pop goes the weasel),

the former latter did embrace,

where sonogram revealed inchoate face

 

courtesy yours truly burst into

singing amazing grace

adoring newborn exquisite

as finely wrought lace

a biological daughter frisson

snap, pop, and crackling within myspace

automatically, immediately, and ultimately

ingratiating special place

within mine heart of darkness.

 

No greater purposefulness

exists than to behold thee alive

bearing witness regarding thee

exiting thru birth canal ye did dip and dive.

 

Tethered to umbilical cord

analogous to astronaut

linkedin to mother ship

bobbing and weaving

once forced out the womb

 

thru metaphorical fjord

inconsolable offspring crying,

no matter papa implored

though nonreligious, nevertheless

ofttimes paradoxically invoking lord.

 

How quickly orbitz around the sun sped away

crawling and climbing in no time

atop highest ledge utmost goal without delay,

which might help explain

mine premature hairs of gray

and your dare devilish more frightening

than being hunted down courtesy janissary

(or so I imagine) above exaggeration, I may

 

beg poetic license and pray

ye anonymous reader enjoy

reading about our precocious Shay

(Hebrew for beautiful)

progeny, who though developmentally challenged

frequently ordinarily calm, cool and collected dada

uttering stronger epithet than oy vey.

 

Now, one score plus two years

astride planet earth ye attest

to mine wide eyed opened amazement

buzzfeeding, snapchatting and livingsocial

(shutterflying a pinteresting life)

 

more so than me at twenty two,

no matter I did detest

living under same roof as parents,

cuz yours truly felt like

most unwanted guest!
