And What About the Children

Now we've made a child. 
And the dire predictions
have changed into
wild
grim
speculations. 
Still the negatives 
are waiting 
watching
and the relatives
Keep Right On 
Touching...
  and how much curl
  is right for a girl?
But if it's said
at some future date 
that my son's head
is on straight 
he won't care
about his 
hair
nor give a damn
whose wife
I am.
