My daughter says she’ll never wed
Never wants to share her bed
Rather she’d sleep in a ditch
Be accused of being a hedgerow witch
I said I understand
But does that include a woman as well as a man
I blame it on the night she was born
During a Halloween thunderstorm

The only thing not true is my daughter wasn’t born at Halloween. But she was born at midnight, in a thunderstorm

It’s true, my daughter was born in a thunderstorm. Not quite Halloween but a few days later. And at midnight!

Oh wow 😂 then your daughter really committed to the theme! A midnight thunderstorm entrance sounds wonderfully dramatic… honestly the universe gave her a cinematic birth scene from day one. 🌩️

I’ve always said that she is special. Strong minded, does her own thing.

I’ve got one too… strong-minded from birth 😅 The teenage years are going to humble me.

So often I’ve found getting the right graphic is what makes the poem work (but then, I trained as a graphic designer, so…. yea, I’m biased)
