That Classic Fib Poem by Stanley Cooper

That Classic Fib



Everything his parents told him, he believed
Never believed he’d be deceived
So when they told him that classic fib
He believed a stork dropped him into his crib

For years he believed their parental lie
That a stork and he had a pre-natal tie
Discovering the truth was now long over-due
As he still had no clue at age twenty-two

His wife asked for a baby early in marriage
So he dashed out to purchase a baby carriage
But he thought how in hell do I catch the stork
Flying above the skyscrapers of New York

But it didn’t take long for him to figure out
What this thing called sex was all about
Now he felt as happy as happy could be
As for the stork? ...Well golly gee
