The World of Inter-sex

Boys and girls come out to play.

Fair enough; but who shall say

In this age of wheel and whirl

Which is boy and which is girl?

Woman, in her hours of ease Still respondent to the squeeze, Finds, if she would win the race, Male hormones make for pace.

Therefore every dame and doll Trains now on Dianabol, And only the computer checks The line 'twixt sex and inter-sex.

Boys, expectant of the Beat,.

Trail their hair around their feet,

And who knows but the boy friend, maybe,

Soon will learn to have the baby?

Then how shall Father Laurence know Juliet from Romeo? CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS
