Mythical Midwife

The woman who’s talking

On thought for the day

Has just spoken of midwives

At long last! Hooray.

For the rest of the world

A small glimpse of a view

And a chance of an insight

Into how we see you



We’re just hard working lads

Trying to earn a fair buck

Have some laughs, do some good

With a fair bit of luck 

But it won’t all be easy

There’ll also be grief

A sad part of our job

That can test our belief 

At times we run round

Like demented monkeys

The truth is that some are

Adrenaline junkies

In time we fill only the smallest of  space

In your project to nurture our human race 

So soon you’ll move onto your next set of guides

May you ignore the stupid, and learn from the wise

And please don’t forget

The small part that we played 

And so sorry if we couldn’t follow

The fine birth plan you’d made
