Dearest chirping bird,
it is four in the morning.
Shush, if you love life.
Kid screaming in street:
you really should know better.
Let the nappers nap.
If you do not want
to share your food with toddlers,
don't let them see it.
Why, no, everyone,
I had not noticed that I
am extremely huge.
When you point it out,
I am grateful; I worried
no one could yet tell.
A word to the wise:
despite your experience,
don't guess. You'll be wrong.
By the way, it's not
"any day now" that I'm due,
I have till July.
And yes, I have checked
several times with my doctor,
and no, it's not twins.
So let's let it rest
and you can think your deep thoughts
and leave me alone!
