A Cyber-punk Sex Song

by Douglas Brown

I'll be your baboon:
If you'll sidle up to me,
I can fly you to the moon:
She-baboons can ride for free.

Like any lion I've my pride,
Know just what makes me content:
Ten she-lions by my side
In the condo that I rent.

One thing that bugs my case,
When I'm wrapped around a limb,
Is to see her interface,
Coil about, and let him swim.

The robotic Ms. Flamingo
Proved to me when I was young
That humanoids do not say no
Once their ding-dongs have been wrung.

Polymorphic, prophylaxised,
Pseudonymous on the phone,
All cats can now be accessed;
Every dog, choose its bone.

So when I'm the bright lover
Of some brand new ewe,
I just rut royal in rubber
Until we ram right through.

All of the more louche lounge-lizards,
Most Po-Mo men in Illinois,
Agree that of our wizard gizzards
Mine hums with hardwired joy.
