Barbara Gorelick Poet Acrostic

It Takes Two..The Birds and the Bees

Inquiring minds want 
To know how it all works

Ticklish subject
A question that can get your
Knickers in a twist
Especially if they look you in the eye
So, I suggest

Take them out for ice cream
When you get back defer to father/mother
Oh, parental duty..spare me!

Daniel Cwiak August 13, 2010 at 9:38 PM Wonderful write, Barb. I love how you made the parental duty something that comes after the ice cream! Dan C ps. Thanks for your comments on my work.

Andrea Dietrich August 10, 2010 at 7:27 PM Barbara, I loved your "take" on this contest. I hope it's ok not to use the exact phrase birds and bees in your acrostic, because I really love how you did yours. Oh, and thanks for your comments on my blog. I LOVE your way of cooking! Luv, Andrea

Carolyn Devonshire August 9, 2010 at 8:52 PM Dear LNC, I wouldn't want to broach this with grandchildren either. We didn't even have sex education in Catholic school. Unfortunately, my mom wouldn't tell me. She had me talk to my sister who went on and on about eggs, etc. Had to learn on my own. Go for ice cream and defer! Love, Carolyn
