Sex is this wondrous, marvellous thing <br />that the young discover <br />and bring home to mother <br /> <br />Mother, of course, only ever indulged <br />that night that the light bulb <br />blew up in the lounge. <br /> <br />She never enjoyed anything quite so rude, <br />she just thought of England <br />or made us beef stew. <br /> <br />Sex is reserved for the young, so it seems, <br />their mothers don't do it <br />it's far too obscene. <br /> <br />What about fathers, perhaps, do you think? <br />Do fathers all do it? <br />Ask mum in a tick! <br /> <br />Mother denies it; she says it's not true! <br />Then how come she gave birth <br />to me and to you?<br /><br />Ruth Walters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-big-question-6/
