Sex Over Forty

2008-04-21

If you're not too nice to be naughty,
And not frightened of taking a risk,
You'll find partners in business at forty,
Though perhaps it is not so brisk.

Prepare to declare your intention,
Ensure the logistics are viable,
Rehearse a script free of invention,
Be certain to make it deniable.

For meaning minds must meet,
In sympathy, warmth and affection,
Love makes sex complete,
And don't forget the erection.

You can scratch it to try to relieve it,
Recall it, imagine it, fake it,
Comes a day you can take it or leave it,
But given a choice, maybe take it.
