I get the impression that you don't particularly cotton to this one, Marilyn, but yea or nay, thank you for your review.

When is your birthday? I think you read too much into stuff.
Comment from His Grayness
Well anything TRULY UNIQUE deserves to have six stars, especially if it is fun and very entertaining, which is the signature of this delightful work. I had a lot of fun reading this and (like everyone else for sure) waiting for the author to slip off into something more dangerous than was done....now that's true GRIP' THANKS FOR THE FUN: HIS GRAYNESS; Vance

Vance, your glowing comments are more rewarding than you would be likely to believe! Of course,it's easy to believe that I'm delighted by those precious six stars!
Yes, I felt that a more explicit approach to the delights of copulation could not equal the idealized erotic images of most females' personal fantasies, or compete with the multifarious porn preferences of guys. (The same reason I eschewed - there's that word again - a visual illustration.
Thank you so much for your for your words and stars of support, Vance!

I tapped to the rhythm right from the start,
took a while though, 'til you got to the heart.
Congrats on using specious and facetious
in the same line.
A rhyming dictionary AND a thesaurus, not just a chorus,
this Horace got his lines in a line.
Best I could do.
Peace, Lee

Best you could do? Whew! That'll more than do for an out-of-the-blue review!
Thanks for the compliments, Lee!
Comment from Richard J
Explicit and vivid, kit all seems so familiar, somehow! ; )
I hope it does well in the contest, and I cannot imagine why it would not draw attention and votes, seeing as how most everyone enjoys a bit of copulation, either shared or self-administered ... oh-MY!
You've followed the rules implicitly, though I'm not so sure about the equality and fairness ... LOL!
Really, I (for one) had a blast with this one ... good luck! ~ Richard

Richard, thank you for your much appreciated compliments!
Um, solo performances don't come under the bedding..I mean..heading of copulation. (It takes two to tangle.)
Comment from Susanne M. Psyris
Nice alliteration of "P" in the second and third verses of the poem. Nice entry into the Without the trimmings contest. Wish you good luck. It was very entertaining! God bless and hugs, Susanne

THank you for your positive review, Susanne! It is much appreciated!
Comment from WalkerMan
This is definitely amusing with just enough real facts thrown in, though "original sin" had nothing to do with sex -- it was disobedience (of the command not to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge (probably not an apple in that climate). You are right that the connection between mutual pleasure and "impregnationship" (ha!) was not readily apparent (until someone noticed that abstainers had no children). Only humans are silly enough to knowingly behave in ways that risk their extinction. As an outsider observing that, I have to conclude that dolphins, elephants, and whales are really the most intelligent species on your planet....

Hey, I had no idea FS has that kind of reach! And it's good to be reassured God has! And that you folks fool around like we do. If you guys are so smart, how come you are reading stuff like mine? You do seem to have sized up Earthlings, though.
I wonder how far into the cosmos one a poet must penetrate to find a lousy six stars?!
-
We've been watching and listening for a very long time. What -- you think we have no sense of humor? What you are doing to each other outside the bedroom bothers us, though. Six stars? There are seven in the Pleiades. You ought to be able to see them from there, except when chemtrails full of toxic nanoparticles obscure your sky. Your world would be both happier and safer if you confined your play to the bedroom.

Oh. Thank you, sir or madam for your superlunary wisdom. I will heed your advice, and already have made ready to begin a new life of service dedicated to universekind. My wife is bathing in anticipation of our new beginnings. Meanwhile, in observance of another aspect of our cause, I will perform a brief, albeit customary, ritual. I must deliver detritus, now in the trunk of our automobile, awaiting conveyance to the local dump.
Copulation on brief hold. First things first.
Please consider me your devoted acolyte.

You are welcome. Do not keep her waiting too long. And, if you really want to please her beyond your (and her) wildest dreams, go to the trustworthy and non-spying search engine DuckDuckGo.com and look up David Shade (runs David Shade Corporation -- BBB Rating A+). (PLEASE NOTE: I am not an affiliate and receive nothing if you go to his site.) Read the reviews and then see what he offers. I won't be here much longer (less than two weeks); so, if you have further comments, please go to my Profile and click on "Contact" to send me a PM. While there, feel free to look at my Portfolio for anything that interests you. -- Mike

I enjoyed reading your entertaining poem. A subject that many cannot even talk about. It is the most natural act between all species here on earth. I too often wonder about our ancient ancestors and how they got on with it (pardon the pun) I wish you the very best of luck in the contest,
Mary

Wow! Thanks for the warning, Michael. If we do meet, I'll be sure to keep a calculated distance (dependent on your apparent age) from where I would expect the pertaining part to be.
I've used that Jello line for many, many years. I'm older than Cosby, so I'm assuming I was his source. I had no idea he swiped it, and in light of the disclosure of his long history of abominable behavior, it's not unlikely he would stoop to plagiarism. ;-)
Thank you, sincerely, for parting with a precious sixer, Michael!

no I meant that as compliment...whatever Bill Cosby touched back in the day...before he ran out of hush money...turned gold. just kidding about the pee thing...anyway your poem rocks...love-
