Balveen Cheema Poet Quintain (English)

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

Lin Lane November 1, 2015 at 5:02 AM 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. Balveen Cheema November 1, 2015 at 5:10 AM Aww Lin! You've brought so many smiles in my face! As I write I'm still giggling at you hilarious comment on the lady bug! Now let's not get bugged by anyone!! Love, dear Lin.....Balveen
