Should a grown up ask a stupid question
(One already knowing its answer)
To a room full of toddlers, preschool children
Barely knowing much of the world
Yet

"How do mommies become pregnant?"

Most may keep quiet to themselves, shy pink cheeks
Embarrassed is that coloring
And those fearless and quick to be the center
Of any kind of attention may blurt out:

"When daddies kiss them our mommies!"

How beautiful is the ignorance of our youths,
Without having been shoved in the deep end
Of a pool that's become murky...

So in this case, let us adults play pretend,
Do as the children say...

If it were true, a kiss will lead to a pregnancy,
Then I will be glad as a cuttlefish,
A flamboyant under the rug of the sea...
Note: Cuttlefish reproduce with their mouths (if you know what cuttlefish look like and do.)

Such a cool word to "say" "cuttlefish".
