Sex Education In Schools

Think I'll write something uplifting About flowers and the birds and the bees When I was in school way back when Sex talk created much unease It wasn't a subject taught in schools When I was a young whipper snapper Attended school very many years back After prohibition and the flappers Us guys used to sneak behind the barn And flip through the pages of Playboy When reaching that very naughty centrefold It was difficult to contain our joy Guys that say they didn't sneak looks At a copy their daddy kept hidden They're not being truthful about their reaction They totally lost their inhibitions We've come a long way since I was a lad The Internet is teeming with **** The schools don't need to teach it any longer A permissive society has been born Well I'm really not sure that was uplifting Titillating is a much better word The more we talk about sex education The more my speech gets slurred © Jack Ellison 2015

UMMMM... Let's see Playboy was launched in the 1950's with Marilyn Monroe as it's first centerfold... I graduated in 71. One of my classmates was a playboy centerfold... All I can say is she definitely didn't look like THAT when I knew her! (Patty McGuire) LOL She married some Tennis player... Can't remember who... Oh Oh... They say the memory is the first thing to go... But I can honestly say other things start a going first... LOL... Honest!
