Dad takes Thomas on his knee
He feels it's time that Thomas knows
That soon they will be four, not three.
How to broach this family news?
At nearly four, his wit is sharp
Dad wants to canvas his son's views
It's problematic – where to start?
But Thomas looks up, child-care smart
As Dad explains a babe is due;
«A sister, please» comes from the heart;
The scan confirms that this is true!
We're all amazed, how could he know?
Wee Isabella lies concealed
His intuition in full flow
Post Christmas* - all will be revealed!
