Sonnet: On Test-tube Baby

When childless couples want a child of own,
And many years of married life has gone,
They can try having test-tube baby one -
A method successful, cheap and well-known!

Both partner's ovum, sperm are utilized;
In vitro fusion of gametes is done;
The doctors doing this are authorized;
The blastocyst is set for nidation!

A forty percent success does occur;
Not many complications can happen;
IVF is a global procedure;
Varieties have been added to our ken.

Welcome are Test-tube babies to this world;
To childless couples, they appear like gold!
