Vagina Sonnet (4)

Is 'vagina' suitable for use

in a sonnet? I don't suppose so.

A famous poet told me, 'Vagina's ugly.In poems.

Meanwhile he inserts his penis frequently

into his verse, calling it seriously, 'My

Penis'. It is short, I know, and dignified.

I mean of course the sound of it. In poems.

This whole thing is unfortunate, but petty,

like my hangup concerning English Dept memos

headed 'Mr/Mrs/Miss' — only a fishbone

In the throat of the revolution —

a waste of brains — to be concerned about

this minor issue of my cunt's good name.

(sorry for the flippancy Carenza) ps Might as well chuck this one it too. The Penis Song - also Monty Python. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGRPFUYUUdQ Labels are for jamjars. The nice lady with the whip. Everyone has the right to be equal unless and until they choose to relinquish it. We call it play but it isn't a game - it's people's lives.
