Made of linen from Mama’s trousseau, / the child’s diapers were ready although / she preferred being nude, / but her mother was shrewd. / Until needed, they’re Mama’s chapeau.
See the young mother gaze at her child. / She’s enamored, completely beguiled. / Yet, the boy’s nonchalant, / smiling like a savant, / ‘til the cloth on Mom’s lap he defiles.
Everybody has highs and lows/ as a glance at this young couple shows./ What was Bouguereau thinking ?/ He must have been drinking !/ With Bouguereau, anything goes…
There’s something here somewhat amiss/ the source of the problem is this:/ it’s a case of androgyny -/ one can’t tell if her progeny/ sits or stands in order to p*ss !
Her child, I dare to suppose / Is adorable out of its clothes/ But I must question why / There’s that look in her eye / With the child so close to the stove.
Don’t worry kid. Someday, when you’re all grown up, your Mom will show this picture to your prospective girlfriend, just to embarrass the hell out of you!
I have added a comment there (already approved by Mr. Melcher) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. So far, 21 works by this artist have been used here (22 times with one repeat).
When mother says "gimme some skin/ half-hearted he never has been/ he’s the kind of a guy/ who doesn’t ask why -/ he gets out there and “goes all in !”.
Loving mother cannot help but coddle / her young child, who’s a natural model. / Handsome, poised and at ease, / calm and eager to please, / when he sits. (But he walks with a waddle.)

Flirt with my paramour … nothing.
Attend a soiree … nothing.
Hang out at the bar and have a good time with a few men … nothing.
But you clean under a table for an old man JUST ONE TIME …
