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. © Harry J Horsman 2010

Harry, A step up from the usual acrostic which is written in a simpler form. A very intellectual view at how our educational system handled a subject that was mostly taboo way back when. I really enjoyed this. I feel it will be a winner in the contest. Mahalo, Connie

Harry, this is the way an acrostic SHOULD be done. It makes sense and shares interesting information. What a great poem! I posted a quick Doctor Phobia contest to get some laughs and reduce stress before my Monday doctor visit. Three forms: limericks, clerihews and rhymes of 10 lines or fewer. Hope you'll check it out. Love, Carolyn
