Is There Sex in Heaven?
The Human
Is there sex in Heaven?
It seems there'd be no use
For those who are in Heaven
Don't need to reproduce
No need for little babies
No need of man and wife
For those who are in Heaven
Enjoy eternal Life
The Angel
Sadly, my friend
When it comes to the end
The bodily pleasures are few,
There's no need to eat
You've no legs and no feet
So a walk in the hills is out too!
Your body, once sound,
Has been left in the ground -
It's only your spirit that's free,
So there's nothing to do
But admire the view
From the clouds floating over the sea.
The Human
So there's no sex in Heaven
As far as we can tell
I've just got one more question -
Is there any sex in Hell?
