Analysis of Tunnel of Mystery



Women have an inny
Between their legs
Every year she gets a dozen eggs
Sometimes she cracks one open
Then begins the hoping
That the baby comes out right
Perhaps a child of the light
Or a creature of the of the night

No one knows
What on the inside grows

It has got to be scary
Not knowing if it will be
Fair or hairy
A John or a Mary
Or a crossdresser named Larry

To take that seed
And plant it deep
And wait to see what you reap

9 months
For a surprise
Between your thighs

A screaming pile of wrinkled skin
A baby is what you win
An addition to your kin

Something to watch grow
And add to the show
Of the dim witted and slow
While you bask in the afterglow
Of maternal bliss
Relishing a mother’s kiss

Now comes the greatest game of all
Building a human for life’s call
A tall order indeed
Growing this cerebral seed
Fulfilling all they need
As they speed
From want to greed
From follow to lead
From joy to bleed
Hoping they follow
A good creed
In this existence
You brought them to

They were the winner
In the ejaculate race
The fastest DNA
In your womb space

All you can do is hope and pray
They come out the right way
And make their worth for the day

This sexual roulette
Is a complete gamble
An utter ramble
Into the unknown
A chemical throw of the dice
Snake eyes
Between your thighs
Damn, crapped out

Don’t worry
Just pour another drink
And I’ll give you another shot at the pink

Load and lock
As you park your cock
In the fun funnel
The mystery tunnel

Let the good goose fly
You know the flight plan
Fill me up and be a man

270 days
Then 18 years
To show them the ways
Of who, when, and how to play

It’s quite a trip
From pole to hole
From crawl to walk
From walk to grave
And in the middle
A useful slave

A mind-boggling ride
To be shot
From a cannon of flesh
Then born
Bloody and fresh
Integrated into
Society’s mesh

And begin the countdown of your life’s clock
If you only knew what awaited
You would wish your daddy masturbated
In a sock

On second thought, skip the eggs
I’ll have some toast instead.

Eric (sometimes not)
