THE MILK

THE MILK

 THE MILK

 

A COUPLE GETS MARRIED

PURCHASES A NEW HOME

BEGINS TO LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM

EVERY DAY HE GOES TO WORK

EVERY DAY SHE WORKS THEIR HOME

EVERY DAY THE MILK COMES VERY EARLY

AND SHE LOVES HER MILK

HER MILK AND CEREAL

 SO EVERY DAY HE HAS HIS BREAKFAST

WITH NO MILK, HE HATES THE MILK

 

ONE DAY HER ROUTINE HAD CHANGED

THE MILK WAS NOT THERE EARLY IN THE MORNING

FUSTRATED, SHE MADE HER MANS BREAKFAST

WHEN HE FINISHED, HE LEFT FOR WORK

LIKE EVERY DAY, AND DIDN’T CARE

SHE LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW OVER AND OVER

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE HE WAS

THE MILK MAN OF COURSE

THERE SHE WAS JUMPING FOR JOY

NOW SHE CAN HAVE HER MILK

 

SHE MET HIM AT THE DOOR, BEFORE HE GOT THERE

THERE HE WAS SMILING

THERE SHE WAS SMILING

SHE INVITES HIM IN

HE SAYS NO, NO I’M RUNNING LATE

SHE SAYS YES, YES YOU MUST

THE MILK MAN LOVES HIS MILK

AND LOVES TO DELIVER IT AS WELL

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING MY MILK

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WOULD OF DONE

 

AND HE WALKS IN

SHE CLOSES THE DOOR

THEY WALK TO THE KITCHEN

AND SHE HAS HER MILK AND CEREAL

THE MILK MAN WAS OVERJOYED BY HER REACTIONS

WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE SHOWED HIM HER ROOM

 THEY DID SOME TALKING AND THINGS

 

THE MILK MAN WAS NEVER LATE AGAIN

HE COMES VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING

AND EVERY MORNING SHE LOOKS FOR HIM

BUT JUST SEE’S HER MILK

MAKES HER MANS BREAKFAST

HAS HER MILK AND CEREAL

AND HE GOES TO WORK

AS SHE FEELS CHANGES WITH HER BODY

SHE REALIZES SHE’S LATE

SHE REALIZES SHE’S PREGNANT

THEN CRY’S

 

SOON SHE AND HER MAN

A MOTHER AND A FATHER

ONE HAPPY FAMILY

A BEAUTIFUL BABY WE CAN NOT DENIE

ONE THING FOR SURE THE BABY LOVED MILK

AND THE BABY GREW AND GREW

HE WONDERED INSIDE

SO HE ASKED HER

THE BABY HAS NO FEATURES LIKE MINE

THE BABY LOVED MILK

SHE LOVED MILK

AND HE STILL HATES MILK

SO HE ASK HER WHY

 

AS SHE CHOKED UP HER ANSWER

I DON’T KNOW

WHY DON’T YOU ASK THE MILK MAN
