Sex -E

'Twas at the home of Governors with pink champagne in hand I asked them all to take their chairs still restless, I did stand I began to speak on modern times and Pinner's mind to tax and laughing as they sipped their wines I felt the more relaxed As caviar was ushered in no one the least perplexed still rattling on about our age until I mentioned sex The chandeliers began to shake the butlers 'loosed their ties what in the world was happening? why all the constant sighs? I merely mentioned the metaphor to stress the women quaint when Mr. Belaire dropped his cigar, the ladies began to faint No need to get hysterical I can explain you see Sex is but the small word SIX except you use an "e" age 16

Ah the poet at play can brighten the day of the sad and even loathsome.

Ahh yes I understand, I've come across some people who say sex instead of six as well. Very funny read Gayle.
