A Few Pregnancy Poems

Here are a few poems I wrote when I was pregnant with my first son.

Donuts

Today as I went out to shop

I stepped inside the donut shop

Just to glance at forbidden food

Then I tried a taste, not to be rude

And before I knew it 

There I stood, 

I could not leave, though I knew I should.

Transfixed, as though I were glued to the floor

I could not bring myself to go out the door.

I had to try one, just a taste

And before I knew it frosting was on my face

I must have blanked out for just a minute

I should not have started or even began it.

Powdered sugar in my hair

No wonder the customers stopped to stare.

Boston creams and rich eclairs

Wondrous fillings

Everywhere!

A Restaurant Dilemma

I can't decide 

Don't make me think

I don't know what I want to drink

I've been sitting here staring

For half an hour

Unable to decide on Kung Pao 

Or sweet and sour.

"What's the dilemma?" you may wonder.

I don't want to make a blunder.

Ready to order, but maybe not.

That Kung Pao chicken may be too hot

It may send my stomach into fits

And cause this baby to start to kick.
