BABY X ADULT

Baby X Adult

Baby is dumb

Adult has wisdom

Babies are small and crawl

Adults are tall and fall

Baby demands

Adult commands

Baby yearns to walk

Adult learns to work

Baby weeps

Adult sleeps

You carry a baby

You marry an adult

Baby chokes

Adult smokes

Baby stays at home to play

Adult brings home the pay

Baby cries

Adult sighs

Baby spikes milk

Adults like silk

And I saved this for the last Baby at birthAdult at

deathBaby ....X...

Adult becomes a thing of the past.
