An Ode to Copulation

by Ogden

Without the trimmings Contest Winner 

(Needs no illustration. Use your imagination.) The author has placed a warning on this post for sexual content.

tip: only read this cautionary preamble
if you're in no hurry to get to the funny and sexy parts.

be prepared, if you have patience (and low expectations)
for a painstakingly studied, sometimes muddied, praiseful,
faithful, and rambling deconstruction of the adoption
of history's most enduring reproduction option.
and, remember it's free verse, so don't
search for iambs or sculptured epigrams.
it's all in fun and written loosely
(but absolutely not abstrusely!) while drinking gin in my jacuzzi.


copulation is the whole world's way
to maintain and sustain population.
it may have started with adam and eve.
at least, that's what many jews and christians believe.
this new copulation thing was better than being in eden,
though they knew it, to do it, was to do it in, indeed, sin.
eden days were at an end, but copulation would become a trend.

the practice proceeded, and procreation prevailed.
few suspected that those facts were connected!
there was no sex education, no explanation,
no implication of a relationship between
copulation and impregnationship.

a plethora of pleasured participants found it fun,
but abundant abstainers got absolutely none.
(nor did the ambivalent who still hadn't begun).

now it's known copulation is good for your health.
but way back then, much diddling was done in stealth,
which made the birth rate abate during the great "sin-or-not-a-sin?" debate.
many were doing it, while others were eschewing it.
that's why there were far, far fewer people long ago.
(it was just as much fun as now, then, but the eschewers didn't know.)

a persnickety writer might research this "ode" for accuracy,
aim to pick at me indiscriminately, and he or she will get no flak from me.
obviously, it's intentionally specious, and equally clearly, it's facetious.
one can't produce what everyone favors.
(that's why there's jello in so many flavors).

in closing, i wish you good copulation...if you wish it, too.
it cannot be denied it is a fine multi-purpose pastime,
perfect to keep you occupied when you have nothing else to do.

or commonly, a recreational situation.
viva copulation, sensational titillation!
