Mark Bradman
RENDEZVOUS AT GRAND FALLOPIAN
STATION
(For every sacred little sperm)
A jolly little sperm was swimming
Blissfully upstream still feeling
The full flush of his recent release,
When he met unexpectedly,
A blooming, voluptuous, ova
Drifting calmly down to her
Anticipated appointment.
"Oh, hello!" said the sperm surprised.
"Fancy meeting you here." Replied the ova
Unaware of this fateful encounter,
His greater destiny could not have been
Further from his ectoplasm,
Nor the likely outcome of
This pleasant exchange.
"Lets have some tea?" invited the ova.
_________
With that singular remark
The sex trap coupled forever,
Two carriages on the Tranz Continental Express!
Shortly after the sperm penetrated the sundae
A brand new zygote began looking
For a bed in the sleeping car
As it gathered speed in the tunnel of love.
Parting kisses brushed cheeks
As the ova enquired,
"Why did you catch this tube?"
"Just out for a good time," replied the sperm.
"Why did you?" he asked
"Oh, I've always wanted a family," said the ova.

Later, an innocent and relaxed man
Hurried to make the Southerner,
Gaining a window seat, business class.
At 9:30 a wickedly fulfilled woman
Settled on the Northener,
As it pointed toward the sun.
Almost simultaneously, a songful zygote
Went forth an multiplied its cells
At an extraordinary rate,
Although, as yet, the being
Was of indeterminate gender.
_________
"Tickets for the conception!" shouted the Guard.
