She wants a baby

Book 22 Page 32

She wants a baby

and she’s scaring me to death.

Me have a baby!

change their nappies when their wet!

‘Me’ be a dad!

what a preposterous idea,

she wants a baby

and I think it’s “darn right queer.”

But she’s threatened me saying;

“there’s no sex if I don’t see it her way.”

She says quite openly and bluntly;

“no baby / no laid.”

And she’s been keeping to her word,

she really means what she says.

But for me to have a baby

I’d have to be mad and have ‘rocks in my head.’

She’s taken to looking at baby photos

she gets from the ‘woman’s week.’

And she sometimes gives me the silent treatment

every time I speak.

And it’s causing us ‘relationship problems,’

we were fine before this “baby stuff” came along!

And I’m wondering, how long can a woman keep this up

or! how long can I be stoic and strong?

What’s the matter with women!

Why can’t they understand “no!”

All I know is that if this doesn’t get resolved real soon,

one of us will have to go.

But I love her dearly,

she’s my; (dare I say it,) “sweet heart baby girl.”

And that’s just the point

I don’t want another!

And now I find myself feeling guilty as if, -

well as if; I’ve done something wrong!

All I know is that; I better make up my mind real soon

before my love is gone.
