Rip Doris Bodgers
I just read the Kama Sutra Richard Johnson said,
It could leave you ruptured or very possibly dead:
But him and his lover Doris went ahead and tried.
Less than three weeks later she very suddenly died.
They’d been progressing
By slow and steady stages
Until Doris sadly, mistakenly,
Went and turned four pages.
What started off as easy
And looked so very neat
Had been turned into
An almost impossible feat.
The ambulance men said
Even if they’d been able
To save her life, she’d still
Have been so very disabled,
And at her funeral
Poor old Rick
Was still dependent
On a walking stick,
Still wearing a fixed
And shocked grin
As he was gently
Escorted in.
So, very slowly his mind healed
But for evermore his lips were sealed.
At the village library, it soon got about;
Long waiting lists to take the Kama Sutra out.
