No More ‘The Queen Bee’

Here I am, being wheeled to the delivery room, Anxious I am, anticipating to see you soon, My baby, no longer in my tummy you will be, Instead a little brat in my arms I will see. But how I will miss those midnight cravings for food, Ooh, strawberry ice-cream, peanut butter sandwich never felt so good! Nausea too hit me mid-mornings sometimes, And then I would gorge on a lavish spread at lunchtimes. The hubby has been on a tight leash, at my beck and call, Hey, my back hurts! Hello, hold me lest I fall... My in-laws gushing and fawning over me, Never have I felt before like 'I am the Queen Bee!' Alas, with you outside, all this will end, I can’t help but feel oh! so depressed, Baby, can't you stay in just a little bit longer? While Mommy goes on to satiate some more hunger. ______ ______ Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
