Everyone’s excited
Of the Christmas reunion
But foremost was Carl’s coming
For grandparents, uncles and aunts
Eager to
Ogle, hug, cuddle, kiss and tickle
A pink, robust, bubbly four-month baby.
Carl was not pink, robust or bubbly
But he was
The most awaited first grandson,
So, everyone eagerly
Ogled, hugged, cuddled
Kissed and tickled
A frail, unsmiling four-month baby.
