The Birds and Bees

When I learned of the birds and the bees
I got dizzy and fell to my knees
I saw two flies "dance"
My friend saw the chance
She taught with a doctor's expertise

It didn't feel so nice at the time! I was about six years old and not ready for the real story. Thanks for the comments. I can look back and laugh about it now. Blessings, Rhonda
