Before

One past February when the baby shower finished on time

The presents unwrapped the games the bell began to chime

All mothers knew it the call would come soon

At that time the unknown father would be over the moon

Or so we hoped, we really weren't sure

But calling the infant a boy might be the right lure

The games were finished and we left in a hurry

As for the grandma to be she was in a fury

The father never did again show his face

Although personally I would have covered it in mace

The following May we all heard the great news

And all gathered later at Aunt Sues

For the baby had been born late the previous night

And we managed a day with out a fight

Grandparents were proud Great's were as well

The Great great grandma we told but if she knew we couldn't tell

It was a happy day and all know that

But soon after the attitudes fell flat

We tried to help teaching the little one a family name 

But we knew her mother deep down knew only shame 

She may never understand the relationship I have with her 

But its still cute when we ask about the kitty and she starts to purr

Off and on she'll get a name right 

And when she wears her dresses she is a sight 

One of these days she'll find the right Dad 

But for now I find the situation a little sad
