Sex Or Food Poem by Randy McClave

The life for a young man isn't that complex
When they are young all they think about is having sex,
Every attractive woman becomes their distraction
And the women know it, so they become their main attraction;
I once was that young man and I went through that stage
When my hormones changed and I was full of lust and rage,
The female became my want and my need and my only desire
So, I bought myself cologne and other toiletries and a hair dryer,
I then bought myself a car and I improved the way that I dressed
That is what all young men do, so the women are impressed;
I then went to the gym in the hope to catch a woman's eye
Sometimes to get a woman's attention I would grunt when I'd exercise.
I was always courteous when I took a woman out on a date
We would only talk about her, but never about her age or weight,
I did this, so with hopes with me that she would spend the night
Of course that is every young man's dream; fantasy and delight,
If it weren't for sex, most of us men would never marry at all
When we need and want sex, we hate to plead and beg and crawl,
For a guaranteed sex life that is why most of us men decide to wed
Now every night we are excited, because we have a woman in our bed;
Some married men will look back in sadness after years of frustration and denial,
Maybe they will wonder why they ever walked down that long wedding isle,
I have been married for many years, no longer do I have that young man's itch;
Now instead of begging my wife for sex; I now beg her for a sandwich.
