Birds and Bees
Birds and Bees
Beginning when I was just a child,
Eager was I and a little bit wild,
Eavesdropping on the things adults said,
Savoring tales of things done in bed.
I was as curious as I could be,
Asking some friends to explain things to me.
They didn’t know much, but fortunately,
I had great desire and tenacity.
While babysitting one day, I would see
Some magazines filled with ***********.
I got an eye-full of anatomy
Not just of the bird, but also the bee!
Fodder for fantasy found and filed.
True Romances obtained; even more then explained!
Enlightenment I gained was in my brain ingrained
Beginning when I was just a child.
