Love Poem: Training Wheels

Training Wheels

We crawl before we walk
  Make sounds before we talk
Put training wheels on our first bike
  Warm up a bit before a long hike

Mom reads to you before the teacher do
  You practive writing your name at home, too
Do you really learn how to count at school --
  I counted to a zillion at four; now that was cool

Yet when it comes to lasting love and marriage
  It seems that early preparation is disparaged
And how about some classes on diaper-changing
  So baby' needs are met sans irritation and raging
