Baby Talk

In the darkness of an evening Nascent was I just on earth Endured with pain were you there on Ready to brook further long Painful was I all through my teens An arrogant snob much I haunted you Harsh words, raged anguish... Unaware of defiling myself Passed twenty despicable did I grow To placate my lust got me married My incited lousiness, was my wife stamped Dilemmatic became the children Brainless became worthless into a jobless Wordless was I in my benighted abyss Drunkard became penniless, lately realised Muddled in isolation when fifty Fearful sins in a cold-sweat frightened me Endearment, much longed by me Disregarded although you favoured me Forgiving, forgetting... still love me mamma?
