Sex After Seventy

Oh, you can’t have sex after seventy
Your children just wouldn’t approve
And if your neighbours found out 
You’d probably have to move

No, you can’t have sex after seventy
You’ve got to be young and fit
And every succeding generation
All think they invented it.

You just can’t have sex after seventy
Though it’s not quite against the law
You should be watching the tele
Or doing the odd jigsaw

No, you can’t have sex after seventy
If you get such an unnatural urge
Drink some hot Epsom Salts
And give your bowels a purge.

You just can’t make love after seventy
Just accept it with good grace
No you can’t have sex after seventy
And wipe that smirk off your face

Thinking of the guy who ran Playboy, was he not about ninety, and still banging everything in sight. Now, if you were 71, get a jigsaw. lol
