About Me

I started my infertility journey in August 2011. The frequent blood tests combined with the frustration of unsuccessful treatment was getting me down. Then one day I decided to start parodying the nursery rhymes I taught my first grade students. These rhymes help me laugh at my infertility frustrations as well as give me something to take my mind off of all those blood test needles.

The Sperm Go Marching (to the tune of The Ants Go Marching)

I started writing this on Dec. 21, 2011 and I finished it today.

The sperm go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching one by one, the little one stops to bang a drum.
And they all go marching in, to the womb, to surround, the egg.
BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!

The sperm go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching two by two, the little one stops to use the loo
And they all go marching in, to the womb, to surround, the egg

BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!

The sperm go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching three by three, the little one stops to find his key
And they all go marching in, to the womb, to surround, the egg
BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!

The sperm go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching four by four, the little one stops to give a roar
And they all go marching in, to the womb, to surround, the egg
BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!

The sperm go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching five by five, the little one stops to do hand jive
And they all go marching in, to the womb, to surround, the egg
BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!

The sperm go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching six by six, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching six by six, the little one stops to eat some Kix
And they all go marching in, to the womb, to surround, the egg
BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!

The sperm go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching seven by seven, the little one stops to talk to Kevin
And they all go marching in, to the womb, to surround, the egg
BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!

The sperm go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching eight by eight, the little one stops to find some bait
And they all go marching in, to the womb, to surround, the egg
BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!

The sperm go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching nine by nine, the little one stops to scout the line
And they all go marching in, to the womb, to surround, the egg
BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!

The sperm go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah
The sperm go marching ten by ten, the little one gets to win again!
And they all go marching in, to the womb, to surround, the egg
BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!  BOOM!
