There’s far too much fe-cund-i-tee.
Some think that a large family
Shows off their mas-cu-lin-i-tee
And they expect to live rent-free
On their neighbour’s hos-pi-tal-i-tee
By making mugs of you and me
Just shows you their stu-pi-di-tee.
I wanted six but stuck with three –
Nowt wrong with my fer-ti-li-tee
But this was how it had to be
For our sus-tain-a-bili-tee.
They may be poor - but so are we –
There’s far too much fe-cund-i-tee.

Thought this was very clever linda, not many would have thought of Fecundity as a poem. Enjoyed.

I read this earlier, Linda,

I read this earlier, Linda, and didn't have time to comment, so am making amends. I agree with jolono...such an original poem, and brilliant for the I.P. Tina;-)
