The father smiled to see his child Come running to his side. "Please tell me, Daddy, what is meant By that word 'sex'", she cried.
He looked aghast at this sweet girl - She was but eight years old; Too young, he thought and innocent To break this childhood mould.
She should be playing with her dolls Or other toys she had Instead of asking questions such As this one of her Dad.
With openness and honesty An inborn family trait, This Dad explained the facts of life Quite candidly and straight.
His discourse finished, thankfully, He kissed her on the cheek; No word she'd uttered all the while, But now began to speak:
"I didn't think my question was A matter so complex, For Mum just said to tell you lunch Is ready in two secs."

the punchline was really an eye-roller... I think I've heard that joke before, but never in a poem format; quite clever, I must say. I like your rhyming here, very smooth... this is what more of your poems should be like; not those huge, long monstrosities that you've gotten to writing... nice work! yoss

OMG(oth)
Fantastic write. Being sprogged up myself and having had to 'THE TALK' to my own sproglet and too many others sprogs when their own parental untis chickened out. I could relate too so much of this.

Spot on with the emotional response of the father.
