Momma Cat has no time for Poppa Cat

Parenthood Sucks

by BethShelby

So now that all of the babies are here,
the missus has no time for me.
She puts a cold chill in the atmosphere,
when she says, “Please, just let me be.”

She claims nursing nine takes all of her time.
I’m the dad, What am I? Chopped beef?
I’m in my prime. She’s not up for the climb.
I can help with the kids. Good grief!

Has she forgotten the thrills that we had,
when we were a fun loving pair?
She is making me feel lonely and sad,
and she has turned into a square.
