Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Mr. Mom Bug

I carry them upon my back.
Young uns - the Missus put them there.
This Dad does care for the whole pack.
Tiz a burden that I do bear.
Upon my back, the young uns stay,
Until they've reached the ready stage
To come forth and go on their way.
All kids some time do reach that age.
There is no one else to help me.
The Missus left me on my own.
The one and only parent be
Yours truly in the baby zone.

Until they hatch, the eggs I lug,
This Dad - a giant water bug.
