With the Internet down
and his wife in Texas
at a teachers' convention,
Bill was in a bind.
He had the house to himself,
a refrigerator full of beer,
a fresh box of Kleenex ,
and no access to pornography.

So he went through the closet
and dug out the Karma Sutra video
he bought his wife
for their sixth anniversary.
They had only watched it once
but never got past
the Lovemaking of the Cow.
However, Bill was aroused
by the woman on the video
and later made love to his wife
in the standard missionary position.

After watching it for ten minutes,
Bill grabbed his coat,
a pair of sunglasses,
his baseball hat and car keys
and drove to the video store.
Call him an incorrigible Westerner,
but Bill far preferred watching
the Reverse Cowgirl
to anything called the Black Bee
