/// Through the window her jealous son leaned.
Baby nursed until Jan intervened.
Jan distracted the boy
with his old pinwheel toy.
(Jan was mad that last week he was weaned.)
/// Since A Mother will get little rest
With Her Children latched onto each breast,
she thought one of her brood
should be on solid food,
but her elder son, Jan, was a pest.
/// Jan was breastfed for years and he grew.
His sharp teeth made Mom red, black and blue.
She thought two is too tough,
so enough is enough.
(Now their dog’s staring hungrily, too!)
/// She’s Jan’s mother, so cut him some slack.
He does not view her breasts as a “rack.”
When he’s grown he’ll feel lust
for a young woman’s bust,
but his Mom’s are a pillow or snack.
/// Many males will to infants revert
if they glimpse a breast, shapely and pert.
Is their gleeful elation
a desire for lactation?
No, a deeper urge makes them alert.
/// Not one female gorilla who thumps
her broad chest will encounter big bumps.
Of the primates, just we
have large round breasts males see.
They evolved to (some say) evoke rumps.
