John’s going to be
a first-time father
and he calls the hospital
late in the night
and he screams into the phone:
“My wife’s going to deliver! Help!
She’s screaming! And she says something
about contractions! Help!”
And the duty nurse at the other end
with her cool voice intones:
“Tell me - is this her first child?”
And the anxious first-time father screams:
*“No! No! This is her husband!”

...another existing joke that's evolved into verse...in this, I've tried to make minimal changes to the prose version - just enough so it becomes mine, and still true to its light-heartedness...
