Culture Clash

A country girl married a Frenchman

With a warning from her friends:

“We’ve heard about those French.

He’ll want to change the ends.”

For months they had great sex,

Everything she wanted.

The friends’ warning left her puzzled.

Why were the French so vaunted?

Then came the inevitable request.

Said she, “Not in our bed.”

Now it was his turn to be puzzled.

“But don’t you want ze children?” he said.
