Welcome to the world
Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky.
This is just a warning
to all patriotic Americans
Democrat or Republican
to cease cooing
over Kate Middleton's womb
as it prepares
a second offspring
because Thomas Jefferson
decreed as such
in the Declaration of Independence
that the King
"has kept among us
in times of peace
a Forest's-worth
of Sickeningly
and Tyrannically adorable
New-Born Infant Portraiture
without the Consent
of our Legislatures."
