Weird Sexual Government

Even the word itself
sounds ugly to me now
sat here with the sun pelting down
digging my toes into sexy white sand
the only human for miles around
and my world all the better for it

How come dolphins
get by without one
to be the happiest of creatures
free as the ocean
without a dime to spend
governing themselves
through lives as nature intended

But then I remembered
nature has flaws
chimpanzee prostitutes
trade sex for food
Randy female ferrets
masturbate with pebbles
ducks indulge in necrophilia
and flatworms
use their penises
(shaped like a dagger)
to fence with

Seems we're not the only species
to make partner mistakes
we just make them
bigger and better
than the competition
and whether we like it or not
there's no escaping instinct
when we are all governed by nature
