Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Serious Banking Crisis In Britain

I read it in the press today
The guys in Britain must have all turned gay

The local sperm bank is in need of ‘funds’
Only nine donors, guess other men have shunned

I thought the men would be dashing to deposit
Looks like they are all hiding in the closet!


Poem penned after reading this article

Duke Beaufort September 8, 2015 at 6:14 PM Well, you got me by surprise on this one and fooled me. I was wondering why I hadn't heard about the actual banking crisis when I read the title. What could have possibly caused this shortage? Perhaps they hired an ugly receptionist. Jan Allison September 9, 2015 at 1:03 AM Ha ha I love your parting line Duke - I do love to pull people in with my titles:-) hugs jan xx
