Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

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.

Timothy Hicks February 17, 2016 at 10:01 PM Lol ... looks like the cat got out the bag a little before "the talk". A lot of vivid images come to my mind when I'm reading this (wish I could just say it just birds and bees, but it's not!). Amusing story ... I'm sure many can relate.

Scott Williams February 12, 2016 at 11:08 PM Oh, the images that one brings to mind. That is a classic. I really enjoyed it. Congrats on your win.

Iris E. Sankey- Lewis February 11, 2016 at 9:07 PM You found a way to make it smooth, such topic; off limit to those green years of yours. Congrats.

Ralph Sergi February 11, 2016 at 6:22 PM Hi Andrea: Great poetic approach to abomination(ha ha). As a child ,I was raised in a religious atmosphere and was very naive. As i grew older I was introduced to porn as most guys are but then I grow older, it does dissipate in favor of more concrete thoughts about women and life, especially having three daughters Congratulations on your win!

Jan Allison February 11, 2016 at 3:51 PM ha ha ha - I was right on the one you would choose ha ha ha great humour Andrea congrats on your win:-) hugs jan xx

Daver Austin February 11, 2016 at 2:23 PM "This is it, Elizabeth." to quote Red Foxx, who could have given you an ear full. I was always curious, but my folks were too old to catch a glimpse. Best I could do was a show and no tell in a bed sheet tent. Love, daver

Kp Nunez February 11, 2016 at 12:15 PM :-) A bit wild take on the theme, andie. :-) I think it's common...this curiousity, just on different levels. Just a tad naughty humor here. :-) Best wishes! hugs

James Inman February 11, 2016 at 9:53 AM Nice Andrea, I started one and went blank, I doubt it will be finished.

Demetrios Trifiatis February 11, 2016 at 9:29 AM The early bird catches the worm they say, dear Andrea, and as you tell us this fantastic story you were an early beginner! Haha. Very cute and delightful story that certainly deserves a seven.
