Do accountants have sex?
It would seem as if
A-sexual reproduction is the norm
As if behind some pile
Of dusty ledgers
The only old one-two
Would be found in a column
Of figures
And what would quicken
The accountant’s heart
Would be the shapely balance sheet
Not the occasional glimpsed leg
Of rounded butt and breast

We all know and take for truth
That accountants don’t take lovers
Because of their prophylactic personality
Therefore children and families must be
Beyond the accounting ken
Accountants can’t have sex
Otherwise they might beJust like you and me.
