Girls

(For Joanne Mac Millan's baby shower, she is expecting a girl)

(February 2, 1985)

Little girls can be wonderful

    some even say a blessing,

But when they are older,

    they will just keep you guessing.

Who was the young man

    she was just talking about?

And who was that on the phone

    she just asked out?

By the time she's eighteen

    your nerves she will fray.

Your patience will be gone

    your hair will be grey.

Sorry to be the one to

    burst your baby bubble,

But take it from me,

    girls are pure trouble.
