Will crowd to o'erwhelm you with powerful surge;

Still, consider them naught, to a year and a day,

When you trit-trot the baby!

There's a concert perhaps, or some favorite play,

Or a party, where all your old playmates are gay;

"But, my dear, 'bout YOUR baby!

"Now, wifey, you know it to be impolite

That you and I, both, the invite should slight.

Alas! I'm a martyr to etiquette, though;

Pet must have vision enough to see so.
