A just for fun, light and frivolous poll :D


Let me tell you bout
the birds and the bees
and the flowers and the trees
and the moon up above
and this thing called love!

Shasta542:
I love birds. On my way to work, I see an occasional crane/egret?? some kinda interesting white, long-legged bird---and I see the hawks sitting on fenceposts or gliding from one spot to another---love watching them. Ever hear John Denver's "The Eagle and the Hawk"? And I have dive-bombing martins (or is it martens?), nectar-sucking hummingbirds, worm-hunting cardinals, whoo-whooing owls, and various other avian types around my house! So---yeah. I voted birds. I don't have nothing against bees, tho---honey's a good reason.

David In Indy:
I answered "I don't know" becuase I never understood the analogy. Hey! I'm just being honest. What do birds and bees have to do with anything? How do they relate to sex? Would someone explain this to me, because I'm beginning to think my parents left out some important things during their talks years ago.  ???

pettifogger:
The way I heard it, at least according to some, the birds and the bees is a metaphorical story sometimes told to children in an attempt to explain the mechanics and consequence of sexual intercourse. According to that story, a baby is created when a bee stings a bird. In some cases the choice of birds and bees may be because they provide a ready metaphor for insemination (pollination) and childbirth (hatching).
