Bill Corney
Double Standards
She wrote books portraying orgies
And intimate moments with men.
The lust and the lurid language
Dripped from the tip of her pen.
She had knowledge of every position
That the Karma Sutra described,
And increased her repertoire further
With some she herself had subscribed.
She waxed forth long and lyric
About quivering, perspiring thighs,
The male reproductive organ
Its artistry, duration and size.
Debauchery was her obsession.
All she wrote was about jig-a-jig.
Yet when he accused her of sexism
He was branded a chauvenist pig.
And intimate moments with men.
The lust and the lurid language
Dripped from the tip of her pen.
She had knowledge of every position
That the Karma Sutra described,
And increased her repertoire further
With some she herself had subscribed.
She waxed forth long and lyric
About quivering, perspiring thighs,
The male reproductive organ
Its artistry, duration and size.
Debauchery was her obsession.
All she wrote was about jig-a-jig.
Yet when he accused her of sexism
He was branded a chauvenist pig.
