It Would Take The Enjoyment Out Of Doing It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It Would Take The Enjoyment Out Of Doing It



You can dress a dog in a suit.
Pedicure its nails.
Shampoo its hair and get it cut.
And put booties on it,
To keep its paws clean.

But a dog,
Not spayed, neutured or...
Tied to a tree in the woods,
Will definitely express it is in heat!

And if man's 'best' friend
Has no problem in exposing that publicly...
Why do parents find it hard to believe,
Their children are having sex?
Didn't they have it,
To produce these creatures...

Huh?

There are too many folks,
Being rehabilitated in prisons...
To fit into a society,
That treats having sex like it does its racism.

'Uh...er...we have no problem here'a with those 'peeple'.
Why we's got a few livin' ova there'a back yonder! '

~Excuse me,
I'm new here.
Has the year two thousand and nine arrived here, yet? ~

People are afraid to talk about it,
Because it would take the enjoyment out of doing it.
Therefore,
It is denied!

Clearly done!
But denied,
By everyone who does it!
And if you are reading this...
Your mama and daddy did 'it' too!
Get over yourselves...
All of you!
