Baby Baby…

Doggerel Dave


Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
I do return sometimes... occasionally...

So IVF is on the rise today,

At least for the wealthy in wealthy parts.

Reproduction seen as marriage’s mainstay;

Can there not be more to life, my sweethearts?

 

Please let me know how come reproduction,

The primary aim for many today

Remains the pinnacle of ambition;

There’s much more in this world with which to play.

 

Human rabbits are in a separate class;

They push them out anyway reason lost

Ignoring war and strife which come to pass:

Just keep fucking no matter what the cost.

 

No, my address here is to those with choice:

You can’t have them naturally? Why bother?

If you can’t have them naturally then rejoice

(I had no ambition to be a father).

 

More in an overpopulated world?

Yes the imperative is to pump them out,

Purveyed by powerful interests, their need curled

Around sales, demand is all it’s about.
