THE BABY SHOW

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

Much loved, my parents entered me

in a baby competition

I was dressed in blue with frills and bows

with some help from a cosmetician

 

On the day of the show I was wrapped in a shawl

and placed on my mother’s knee

when the judge with crossed brow said  ‘he’s ruled out

he’s too old at 43’
