EXTRA CHROMOSOME

Tears of laughter, Tears of joy,
Is it a girl, Or, is it a boy?
Two weeks early, I'm coming out,
You'll be surprised, I have no doubt.

Sally, Stuart, Bad news is afoot,
Let's look at the facts, And see what we've got.
One in a thousand, That she be,
However, Not quite like you and me.

They say she'll have low muscle tone,
Due to that extra chromosome.
She may not be bright, Or very tall,
Or even, The smartest kid of all.

She may not be healthy, All of the time,
She may even go before her prime.
But there's one thing that you should know,
You will always reap what you sow.

OK, I may be different, OK I may be slow,
But give me an obstacle and I'll give you a show!
One in a thousand, You bet I am!
Being tall and bright? I don't give a damn!

So, what about this extra cell?
I don't care, I think it's swell.
As you can see I'm very healthy,
I'll probably not stop till I'm a hundred and three.

So what of things now? Well lets look and see,
I have grown so vigorously.
I'm now quite strong and pretty tall,
Not long now, and I'll be on the pull.

There's one last thing I would like to say,
Before we end this special day.
If God should happen to deal you a hand,
Pick 'em up, And make your stand!
