Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Child of Mine

My ex-girlfriend, pregnant by me,
Never bothered to let me know.
She had the baby and then she,
Through adoption, let my son go.
It was only by accident
That I found out about the birth.
I tracked down where my baby went,
And my lawyer earned his worth.
When I finally won my case,
My son had just turned 4 years old.
He'd only known the time and place
Of the adopting folk's household.

He's mine, and when all's said and done,
I do not want to share my son.
