To My Unborn
Jeanette Lee
Kick! Kick! Punch and stretch
Poke a little-job alot
One first, one foot
Then comes a knee
Everyday I feel you stronger
Every week I see me fatter!
Toss! Turn! Sit up in bed
Sleep a little-yawn alot
Right sock, left sock
Now come my shoes
Everyday I just feel sleepy
Every week I feel less comfy!
Rumble! Rumble! Growl and moan
Scoff a little-gorge alot
Left foot, right foot
Here comes the belly
Everyday you're getting bigger
Every week I'm getting slower!
Stairs now are mountains
and sleep, just a dream
I now make this promise:
To keep you warm and well-fed
But do me a favor
and wake your father instead!
