The Birds and the Bees
Theory
Has it,
Educationalists adopted the genre to
Bemuse the youth of the day.
Ironic it appeared when
Reluctant to tell it as it was,
Delegating the subject to the classroom teacher
Some self satisfying spinster of Victorian persuasion,
And one foreign regarding hands on experience.
Not that it was of any consequence
Delivery of the distortion being far more important,
Than having to concern oneself with the truth when
Handicapped minds having become clones of authority,
Evaluate evolution.
But alas, the Birds and the Bees
Estrange after many years in vogue,
Evaporated into oblivion once
Self indulgence inscribed within the resurrection.
