It’s commonly said
That men think about sex
Every seven seconds,

But that isn’t correct:
Research suggests
That in actual fact

It’s simply a misconception.
In reality, males
Aged eighteen to twenty-five

Think about sex
Nineteen times
On average per day

Compared with eighteen
About food, and eleven
About sleep.

(I myself,

Only think about sex
When composing sextets –
I’m seventy-six.)
