Confound all aberrations which <br /> Make men do foolish things, <br />Like buying bracelets for a bitch, <br /> Or witless wedding rings. <br />As if we had not woe enough <br /> Our simple souls to vex, <br />Without that brand of trouble stuff <br /> We label Sex. <br /> <br />Has science not the means produced <br /> For human propagation, <br />By artificially induced <br /> Insemination? <br />Then every man might be a priest, <br /> And every maid a nun . . . <br />Oh well, as chaste as they at least,-- <br /> But nix on fun. <br /> <br />Just think how we would grow in grace <br /> If lust we could exclude; <br />Then innocence might take its place, <br /> --Well, in a sense it could. <br />How we would be forever free <br /> From passions that perplex! <br />What peace on earth if only we <br /> Could outlaw Sex!<br /><br />Robert William Service<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-biologic-urge/
