I wrote this to cheer up my vet, Dr Kris Dailey DVM, as her pregnancy stretched onwards into its third week overdue.
 
        

LULLABY TO AN OVERDUE BABY

(to tune of Hush Little Baby)
for Kris Dailey, DVM


by Pam Green , © 2003


 

Overdue Baby, won't you get born !
Mamma's gonna buy you a sheep with horns.

If that ram don't give out milk,
Mamma's gonna buy you some worms for silk.

If those little worms don't spin,
Mamma's gonna drink herself a cup of gin.

If that drink don't turn to grog,
Mamma's gonna buy you a curly tailed dog.

If that Basenji dog won't bark,
Mamma's gonna buy you a Great White Shark.

If that Great White Shark don't eat,
Mamma's gonna find herself a way to cheat .

If all her bribes don't move you a damn,
Mamma's gonna birth you by Caesarian !
