SHAMEFUL HOWARD


from the ABC set RELATIONSHIPS

Poor Natallie was diagnosed
With ovarian cancer
Threatening her life and
Her chance to be a mother

Natallie and Mr Johnston
Once hand in glove
Made an agreement
When they were in love

Six of her embryos
Were fertilised and frozen
And then stored prior
To her cancer treatment

Natallie and Mr Johnston
Fell our of love
Revealing an iron fist
Within his velvet glove

After they split, Mr Johnston
Must have been annoyed
As he demanded of the clinic
The embryos be destroyed

Natallies only chance
Of natural motherhood
Was dependent upon
Howard saying she could

With Mr Johnston’s consent
Refused out of hand
She sought justice
In every court in the land

Then to the European court
But even there she failed
Mr Johnston felt
Common sense had prevailed

Poor Natallies only chance
Of natural motherhood
Still dependent upon
Howard saying she could

Will he change his mind?
You never know he might
Or will he continue to decline?
Is he motivated by spite?
