The Big Secret

Oh help, the kiddies want to know just how they came about.
This is a conversation we can really do without.
Now begins a lifetime of ridiculous denial,
we search for explanations that to us will not sound vile.
This dreadful dirty act that we keep doing with a smile?
The same thing we are scared of now, as if we are on trial?

Little do they know that this daft attitude won’t end.
When they're older it will be their turn to pretend,
that no one ever does it, and it must have been a dream,
and judging by the babies born, nobody is keen.
We find it harder to relate to kids that go to school,
we drift into a silence and we take them for a fool.
The facts will not disturb them, it is us who squirm in pain,
we try to keep them innocent, our efforts are in vain.
