Sex and the Single Currency

Bill Greenwell

Published 19 February 2001

The Hagues are sexier than the Blairs, according to a poll of under-25s. Electronic implants can trigger orgasms, a specialist has accidentally discovered

Oh wow, I am hot for a florin,

Or a flash of some old-fashioned sterling:

I fancy an E-Day

Like baths in a bidet.

A tanner can keep my toes curling.

I'm frisky for feet, not for metres;

A clinch needs an inch, or a shilling.

The euro, though handy,

Does not make me randy.

A rod, pole or perch is more thrilling.

Doctor Hague, this is vaguely exciting,

Repeat me that bushel-and-peck trick:

Your Emu, old Tony,

Doesn't tickle my yoni,

But my spine finds your pound-sign electric.
