I Won A Silver Medal! Yer.. Right

Rating: 5.0


The second fastest sperm
Is sadly not born
And faded with thwarted Ambition
But tadpoles at play
In my pond every day
Suffer from no such delusion.

i this a poem of collusion, & seclusion as well, OR just delusion? Can a woman get pregnant by two different guys at the same time? This is the first step in making any fraternal twins. The difference in this case is that each egg is fertilized by a different man's sperm. This can happen when the woman hooks up with two different men at a time when she can become pregnant. The process goes by the awful name heteropaternal superfecundation. Can we believe it? Ask my mom. bri :)

this is one man's second sperm, Bri, arriving just too late! I must say though I'm not sure what is the case with multiple births as in IVF cases. I'll have to check whether this is an Armada of successful sperms or one super sperm. I do take your point about fraternal twins though.

#2 through #2,000,000 do not make the podium. : -)

I often wonder who counts them all. Must be a bit of a tedious job. And a bit infuriating if somebody interrupts you! 999,999... Hi Jack, how you doing? one..two.. three...

True there is no second or third, not on the sperm watch anyway. A very funny poem.

Hi Dave. PH have missed out the third line which goes And fade from thwarted Ambition.. I'll go and amend it now. Thanks for your comment Tom
