Sonogram
She had in front of her
Two items, one of them a book
And another of them
A sonogram
She made her estimate
And was currently weighing
Her options
In combination to her whims
This wasn't the first time
And it likely wouldn't be the last time
She had the appointment
To ascertain if this one
Would be worth having
Her future offspring's fate
Depended on a sonogram
Oh how she despised her partners
For putting her in this position
This duty fell on her
And her alone
She eyed the sonogram
The book nearby, so she'd make sure
To mix the concoction correctly
She hadn't the choice
In their conception but
She did decided their births
Those stains were permanent
She burned clothes and made a cover story
To her, this was obligatory
She had a whim
And she had a preference
She'd act on them
It took much examination
Much thought and consideration
If the sonogram wasn't her preference
Then she'd bleed
And, if it was, her future offspring
Would be spared
She had many sonograms
The undesired ones scribbled with
Blood red ink
The desired ones left untouched
This time
She won't bleed
She could put her book away
This one was spared
By the label on
Her sonogram.
