Pregasaurus, by Riona O’Connor
Will you breastfeed? Or use a bottle?
Will you go naturally? Have an epidural?
It’s a boy! You’re carrying high.
Oh it’s a girl! You’re carrying high
It’s twins you’re so big
Are you sure it’s one cause you ain’t no twig
They’re saying I’m a pig. They’re saying I’m a pig
Don’t compare women with dinosaurs
Don’t call me pregasaurus
You think strong tough wild and capable
We hear fat old smelly unstable
Don’t be judging my boobs or my sword holder
It’s not your business how I feed or give birth
If my hormones tell me I’m raving
Then run and get me jam and eggs and pickles I am craving
Just feed me. Feed me now. Go get it.
Was it planned? Or a surprise?
Do you have stretch marks? You’re a bit old/young for kids?
Get sleep cause you ain’t gonna get that ever again ya your life’s over
Wow that is new, brand new information
Don’t compare women with dinosaurs
Don’t call me pregasaurus
If you tell me it’s easy being preggers
Then you can’t feel these ‘ouch oh jesus’, fanny daggers
Don’t be judging my boobs or my sword holder
It’s not your business how I feed or give birth
If he’s still breastfeeding at fifty
Then all I’ll hear from you is wow your tits are nifty.
Milk guns
Acquaintances, friends and strangers
Ask private things beware the dangers
Pereniums, puke, leakage stories
How I conceived on all fours screaming out loud about how I hate tories
You’re gonna get it too much TMI
Don’t compare women with dinosaurs
Don’t call me pregasaurus
I don’t waddle like a zoo exhibit
So unless I’ve got an animal fetish, rrrrr, just zip it
Don’t be judging my boobs or my sword holder
It’s not your business how I feed or give birth
Cause I’ve got a bun in the oven
Don’t ask me who’s the baby daddy I am loving
You think I get around?
Cover up your boobs! Formulas naughty!
Too posh to push! Epidural’s lazy!
Does he sleep through the night?
Don’t let that tiny newborn manipulate you now.
