The Birds and the Bees
When I was young, in my teenage years,
I developed a lot of doubts and fears!
I was very perplexed,
about love and sex
so I went to my parents, in tears!
I said, "mom and dad, enlighten me please"!
So they told me about, "the birds and the bees"!
Their intentions were good,
they did the best that they could,
but I could tell, they were far from, at ease!
But, today things aren't the same.
Movies and TV are to blame!
Youngsters learn about sex,
sometimes, with tragic effects,
the outcome, too often's, a shame!
Now, Birds are just nesting in trees.
Honey's being made by the Bees!
The "Birds and the Bees" metaphor,
ain't really effective no more,
we're just left, with some old memories!
