BLUE GENES

Redheaded Belgians

Never carry to term

Must be anecdotal

Or a fact I never learned

               Wonder what it is

               The country or the hair

               Guess it doesn’t matter

               Can’t really care

More to life than waging

On other peoples fate

No matter the reason

Some babies don’t wait

               A brunette in Thunder Bay

Couldn’t have kids at all

               Disappointment?  “ Not”, she said

               Motherhood was not her call

A blonde I knew in Lowell

Was married in the fall

The baby born in early spring

Was a boy:  they named him Paul

               Redheads, blondes, or brunettes

               All subject to the curse

               Whenever offspring do arrive

               We set it down in verse

Who are we to make the rules?

There is no one to obey

For whom do we give clues?

They’ve all gone away
