Born Yesterday MEANING OF THE TITLE?

Unseen practice What is the meaning of the poem – literal? Deeper? Who is speaking? To whom? In stanza one what attitude does the speaker have towards the conventional wishes for newborns? In stanza two, the speaker outlines his alternative wishes, what are they? If the ‘catching of happiness’ is the speaker’s ultimate wish – how can you summarise his belief about where we are all going wrong in life?
