Boys dream of native girls who bring breadfruit, Whatever they are,
As bribes to teach them how to
Sixteen sexual positions on the sand;
This makes them join (the boys) the tennis club,
Jive at the Mecca, use deodorants,
On Saturdays squire ex-schoolgirls to the pub By private car.
Such uncorrected visions end in church Or registrar:
A mortgaged semi- with a silver birch;
Nippers; the widowed mum; having to
With money; illness; age.
So
Maturity falls, when old men sit and
Of naked native girls who bring breadfruit Whatever they are.
