Rapiers aloft, we doff our hats to ladies, 
trading jests, or swinging from chandeliers,
fearing nothing as we slide a ride on grand
bann
istered stairs, wearing our military buckles.
Lucky in love, we cavort the floor of the spurred
herd's
stomping-ground, with wild lust
thrust
ing notes from formerly silent throats -
to croak, howl, bellow, roar and bay.
Displaying our fantails with rustling feathers, flicking
quickly our red coxcombs, with sperm-sacks
packed
to overflowing, we offer our god-like
bodies as tools for shaping another's joy.
     Now men and women all should understand,
     we've come and joined the copulatory clan.
