A poem submitted by Mark Quinton (chatroom name: MadQ)
Son - Im waiting
My heart seems to beat a little quicker nowadays
Maybe it's coz that my life will change in many ways
I've heard/read so many tales of sleepless nights
And tests of patience taken to new heights
Yet my excitement grows as we count down each week
For I know soon we will finally meet
I have a little fear I must admit
Will I be any good at it?
I want us to go cricket and take you on trips,
And passing along life's little tips
Will you be tall? What color is your hair?
Will you like souse? What will you wear?
Can I kill the monster under your bed?
Will we be able to build a sled?
How will I explain the birds and the bees?
Or daddy 'how do we make trees?'
And the most common question of all
Why ??? I hope I can answer them all.
Answers to questions, questions to ponder
Things to see, places to wonder
Together, we'll be the ultimate team
Limited only by what we can dream
So as the weeks are counted down, I anxiously await
That Oh - so - wonderful date
When all of the waiting is over and done
And I can hold you in my arms, My Son.

The 2 Women in my life
As I lie in bed with my lover
I sometimes feel my daughter
Prodding away at my back
Her partially formed legs on the attack
I often then kiss my lovers belly
To speak to my daughter and say hello
When are you coming out
When are you going to shout
I wonder who you will take after
I hope its mummy , she's a beauty star
If you take some of my parts
Youll love mummy with all your heart
My dreams will soon come true
Not one lovely female, but 2
All my friends will be so jealous
Of the things we will share between us.
