It's nice to meet you
your dad and I go way back
the birth defects you may develop are partialy my fault
don't worry though because were all kinda dumb
and as you grow you tiny little fists will numb
unfortuanatly the same for your head
you're comming at an awful time but there's much to be said
life's gonna kick some ass,
untll you wind up dead
you'll be plain white trash,
the same as your daddy and me,
yeah you'll be a piece of shit,
fertalizing the family tree,
but don't let it hold you back,
no don't be scarred at all,
because a steaming pile of family is always there to soften the fall,
we like trucks and drugs and alchohol,
but maybe you'll be the seed that rises above it all,
if not smoke some pot just like genarations before and numb the pain,
yeah just like generations before live down to your horrible name,
you'll probly never have a jaguar,
an el camino is more your speed,
you'll be too busy worrying about what you need,
your gonna fight,
and most likly your gonna lose,
you'll probly get depressed,
and moist likely hit the booze,
but good ol' unckle Kevo will always understand,
I'll always be there with a helping hand,
yeah life's what you make of it,
so maybe you'll be the one,
yeah just maybe you'll get something done
Author notes
my cousin who is one of my closest freinds is going to have a baby soon and I wrote this to the unborn child and hopefully I'll be able to read it to him when his a bit older and inspire him to fan the flames of that divine spark all children have

this is very humorous :]
nice write, I'm sure once the child is older, they will be able to read this and enjoy it a lot. -
This is funny. It has to be. Can you imagine this printed on baby themed paper from a craft store and inserted into a little book "just for baby Joey"? LMAO

truth in poems form
This is different. It's sad, and its true. I know from experience that children are models of their parents, unless they fight and suffer and force their way to where they want to be (or marry a rich guy with one foot in the grave). Life can and will be hard, and like you said "but maybe you'll be the seed that rises above it all" There has to be someone brave enough to break the cycle. Here's hoping your friend's baby will be the one with the chain cutters.
