The surrogacy

Surrogacy has come to stay,
Shedding any shame of qualm.
Delegate women escape delivery.
Hired mothers gather money.

Ducks lay but don’t hatch eggs.
Hens, instead, do the job for ducks.
Ducklings grow attached to ducks,
With their genes and habits intact..

A woman can beget her child
Without pain of pregnancy,
Within or without marriage
And can remain like a virgin.
