The World Is Full Of Double Beds Poem by Hilaire Belloc

The World Is Full Of Double Beds

Rating: ★2.8


The world is full of double beds
And most delightful maidenheads,
Which being so, there’s no excuse
For sodomy of self-abuse.

From reading Belloc's poems, he certainly loved women, beer and Sussex (not too sure in which order)

Surely the last line must read: '...or self-abuse.'

Wow, that's straight to the point isn't it.
