Maybe twelve is too much,
ten would suit us better.
I’ll promise you as such
in a signed, sealed letter.
We would be so happy
with ten kids of our own.
It would not be crappy
nor like the Twilight Zone.
We would be filled with joy
as a big family.
One little girl or boy
will start us out, you see.
Soon enough, there’ll be more
little kids coming out:
running ’round on the floor
or giving a loud shout.
But that’s why we are here:
to give the lil ones life
to fill our lives with cheer
and not with lonely strife.
