A Poet's Dozen

Illegitimacy Prostitution is As old as humanity Girls sell for a price Food and sex is a precarious combination Man and beast sailing in the same trepidation Among beasts the female decides her mate Amongst humans man decides his choicest pick A chimpanzee shares her body at a foody price A peacock sings and dances for a hen he queens Lady bugs playing fast and loose is no big vice Females in charge to pick and choose for better genes Man's philandering leaves behind his tainted genes FOURTH Balveen Cheema November 1, 2015 Contest: A Poet's Dozen Sponsor: Silent One

Very well written, Balveen. I'll never look at another lady bug without thinking of her as being "fast and loose." I hope you meant this to be humorous because I found it quite witty, and true.
