So now my son is a Y5
From sex education, you can't hide
Preparations in place, at his school
So the kids don't feel a fool
The teacher and head want a chat
To discuss, a bit of this and that
They want to fill us in about a vid
The video that they'll be showing the kids
So begins, a clip of puberty
Factual but graphic, told truthfully
They touch on periods and spots
Hygiene, clean underwear and socks
Then it moves onto the cringey stuff
I'm no prude but I feel myself blush
I'm feeling embarrassed, rather hotty
As my sons teacher is a bit of totty
So next is a virtual erection
I must say, I had a healthy complexion
The erection goes into the virtual vagina
I want out of here, maybe china?
I'm trying to sit composed, try not to giggle
My scarf, my diversion, I begin to fiddle
Part of me wants to laugh out loud
The fact I didn't, of that I am proud
So, red faces all around the room
I want to leave and VERY soon
So my sons teacher and the head
Briefly reiterate what's just been said
So then they say "any questions to ask?"
I have it all pent up, I need a laugh
So with a straight face, like I'm about to debate
"To be honest all this for me is a little too late"
To which they all burst into laughter
Yep lightening the mood was what I was after
So parents, sex education, for it be prepared
Don't be like me, caught out, completely unaware!
