Do the English Care for Sex?

Dr and Mrs Kronhausen, of Minnesota, students of sexology, are shortly publishing the memoirs of a mid-Victorian English War Ministry official of unknown surname, under the title Walter, the English Casanova. It is, they say, 'the most ex- clusively erotic life book ever written. . .. It should dispel once and for all the notion that Englishmen are not interested in sex.'

Walter was a civil servant, No one even knows his name. Doc Kronhausen was observant To snootch out his little game.

When the nation wasn't warring, Time was heavy on his hands. Walter used to go out whoring, Doc Kronhausen understands.

Till the fun and games were over

Walter always asked for more. He was England's Casanova, Doc and Momma keep the score.

Girls recumbent in position,

Scattered all around the desks, Quite destroy the old tradition Englishmen don't care for sex.
