Shark Tooth Haiku

It's Saturday night;

Fever'd men are dress'd,

Pluck'd and perfum'd,

Desp'rate for the title—

'Fatherhood'.

Dying to be daddies,—

Look at their

Throbbing tender-loins

Slick'd to hell, (shoe-shined,)

Drinking beers, spirits,—

Aiming to B A L L ,

Spending, spilling their coins.

Nine months from to-day

Motherhood's wide belt swells

Deliv'ring trophies

To this night's winners.
