it's your turn dear

how quickly
the baby learns, that in crying,
help will
come.
the parents will
rise
from their bed and hurry
to the rescue
of the poor child
in its crib.
they will rock and sing,
they will
comfort the child
back asleep
again.
but at some point they'll
have to stop
when the alarm
rings,
or it will be
a long life
for everyone involved.
