From Keith Sowerbutts, Oswald Street, Accrington.
Tragedy struck the Morgan family
For on the day their first son was born
The medics told the anxious mother in bed
That his progress was far from the norm.
Tragically the little baby
Arrived with only a head
The mother couldn't hold back the tears
Yet the infant survived, far from dead.
After leaving hospital, they named him Eddie
Appropriate for his condition
Living for quite a number of years
Made the best of his awkward position.
Adjusting to his unfortunate way of life
Every birthday she bought him a gift
Coping and making his life worthwhile
Thought the presents would give him a lift.
Off to the shop she purchased the present
When wrapped, rushed it home to the flat
Poor Eddie couldn't hold back his temper
Saying "please not another hat!"
