The Wet Nurse

There was a strange politics
In the days of old, when baby
Formula wasn't invented yet.
Many women couldn't breastfeed
So, they'd hire a dam to feed their babies.
Some wouldn't breastfeed because
Their class or status put it beneath them.
But the fact is, someone's teats
Were needed to nourish an infant.
Thank God for Baby Formula.

Curiously, someone made an argument
For abortion with this in mind...
I think without baby formula
It'd be compulsory to feed the infant
Any way you knew how...
Which, this politics was strange
Because if you can't, then you'd need
Another woman to do the service you couldn't.
This was the politics for nearly 6,000 years.
