Infertility Limericks

I may be a little biased, but I believe that my DH is a brilliant writer and beyond creative. A couple of weeks ago he was inspired to write some limericks regarding infertility. I saved them until this week so I could share the best two with you guys during National Infertility Awareness Week!

A couple who lived on a hill,
Wanted their own lil' Jack and/or Jill.
When they couldn't conceive
They couldn't believe,
They'd blown so much dough on the pill.

There once was a sperm cell named Mickey,
Who found navigation quite tricky,
You'd think with two tails
To the egg he would sail,
But he barely got out of the dickey.
