“A cautionary, thought‑provoking poem on sexual desire, STIs, and why safe sex is the most cost‑effective, life‑protecting choice.”

“Safety First: Something to Think About”

Are you looking to play with fire?

Chasing sparks of sexual desire?

With those sexy bras and underwear,

You know the ones women love to wear.

Are you that lonely needing to be, playing with fire?

Is it your manly need? That great sexual desire?

Will your desire for a pretty woman really fill your need?

Will she light your matchstick so the fire will heed?

When playing with fire, do you ever think about your health?

With the one who starts your fire? As she can steal your wealth.

Sometimes playing with fire can be dangerous as hell;

To just light that fire with love and desire, under her spell.

So many of those wonders hide the evil devil inside;

If you get one, a doctor, you’ll need to see and confide.

For it may be years for the health outcome in part.

Those little devils are nothing like a little poof, fart.

They stay with you sometimes until the day you die.

I know the truth hurts, and I can hear you sigh.

So the next time you need to light that fire with a match;

Use your brain before engaging your little fish to hatch.

Safe sex is more cost – effective than entering a frustrating sport.

Especially if you get health issues and / or even many years, family support.

So use that brain, then have your fun, let those flames burn high;

And enjoy your safe intimacy, with no worries as I say goodbye.
