Carl's First Coming


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.
