Birthday Call
I called her on her birthday!
He answered the phone, which didn't surprise me,
We exchanged polite formalities, spoke of hunting,
Corporate takeovers, hardware stores, The Weather.
When he asked me ' guess what? '
I immediately thought, ' I bet she's expecting.'
Triumphantly he announced ' We're Pregnant! '
Such elation! - my immediate reaction
After all; It was just what they had wanted.
