Knowing My Birth Time

When I was born,

People were happy

by hearing the news

but there was no clock

and there was no doc

so there is no birth time

When my son was born,

People were lucky

because they used watches 

there was a phone

and there was a doc

so there was a birth time

When my grandson was born,

We were talking to nurse Becky

There was a blackberry,

a space shuttle

and there was doc Harry

So the birth time was transmitted

when I was going to the office,

His Mom speaks in the evening about it,

His father watches us listening

My son listens with a funny face

I am facing a large television screen

We lived in a western country 

But presently I’m serving my birth country
