Costume

[pomes]

Your birth was like a party
We were happy and relaxed
My nightie from the hospital
Opened all along the back
Your father stood all dressed in blue
Though several different shades
The midwives' and the nurses' clothes
Were used to show their grades
The doctors wore the best of masks
With double-filter tubing -
With all the costumes I'm surprised
They could tell what they were doing
