Villanelle: If only the World were such as to be just – 1 If only the World were such as to be just Then all girls would be born all all beautiful And men would be the lame laid sex without lust If only the girls were all all free as dust And men could pick and choose and ditch them sackful If only the World were such as to be just If only in test-tubes girls their eggs entrust Then men would much work find their clawing hands full Would then men be the lame laid sex without lust If only lifelong hour-glass shape girls love must Through whirls twists and twirls be not at all bashful If only the World were such as to be just If only the girls in their joints did not rust While men could lay themselves down just wonderful Would then men be the lame laid sex without lust Would men then cheat on spouses neglect thwart trust And at every swaying dame steal an eyeful If only the World were such as to be just Would men then be the lame laid sex without lust © T. Wignesan – Paris, 2015
