The Proctors at The Doctor’s

\nThe two of them had never liked complaining
\nBut sometimes there are things that must be done.
\nThere’s little point unless you are attaining,
\nThe special moments people label “fun”.<\/p>\n
When they were wed some things were unexpected
\nBut every day they’d found a little more.
\nIf you’re not shy and nothing is rejected
\nPerhaps you’ve got as good a life in store.<\/p>\n
So now the pair are talking to their doctor —
\nThey’re ninety and they’re not enjoying sex.
\nThe Doctor blinks and speaks to Mr Proctor,
\nSelf conscientiously, while polishing his specs.<\/p>\n
“When did you both experience this dawning?”
\n“Just once last night and twice again this morning …”<\/p>\n
