Who's pregnant these day?
We used to be able to tell
by what expectant moms wore,
but no more... what happened
to smocks?
Those tent-like tops
have moved into the closets
of preteens, teens,
and anybody else who wants
to look like pregnant women
used to look.
These cute tops have a name
that I've conveniently forgotten,
along with my wife's birthday,
but I didn't want to buy her
one of those smocks, anyway.

You're a man? how quaint. (I assume just writing as one.) Love the last stanza, very funny.

Thank you, Hungry Joe, for liking my Andy Rooney-sounding (I hope) commentary.
I am a girl.

I bought one! and I do look pregnant in it. I hope that people realize it's an impossibility at my age.
What is odd, pregnant women are wearing those little tight tees with the whole stomach sticking out underneath, total reversal. It's absolutely smocking!

Cute write. Best of luck in the contest. I don't know the Andy Rooney reference, but I assume that this is something he's spoken about.

OH my EVERlasting GOSH! How very true! Pregnant women wear tight T-shirts. I don't know what the world is coming to.
Very funny, Lavender.
