Sex -E

'Twas at the home of Governors
with pink champagne in hand
I asked them all to take their chairs
still restless, I did stand

I began to speak on modern times
and Pinner's mind to tax
and laughing as they sipped their wines
I felt the more relaxed

As caviar was ushered in 
no one the least perplexed
still rattling on about our age
until I mentioned sex

The chandeliers began to shake
the butlers 'loosed their ties
what in the world was happening? 
why all the constant sighs?

I merely mentioned the metaphor
to stress the women quaint
when Mr. Belaire
dropped his cigar,
the ladies began to faint

No need to get hysterical
I can explain you see
Sex is but the small word SIX
except you use an "e"

Ah the poet at play can brighten the day of the sad and even loathsome.

Ahh yes I understand, I've come across some people who say sex instead of six as well. Very funny read Gayle.
