As it is nearly V-day here is a romantic little poem inspired by the fact sticklebacks can change sex…
John and Freda were a stickleback pair Who at first felt a great deal of lustSo their lives they decided to share As in each other they found that they could trust ~
The lust waned after year four
And life together started to drag John was becoming a bore
And Freda would consistently nag ~
But stickleback males can change If they want nagging to stop
They turn female, to them its not strange So John became Joanne without even a chop ~
So then Joanna and Freda were fine And life was great and they gave not a toss As they met for a glass of white wine And had hours of fine girlie goss ~
But there was a thing in life that they did miss And that was the company of a male A hug, a cuddle and a passionate kiss So they had a solution that could not fail ~
So Freda decided she would become Fred And together the two fish would cavort
Until eventually the sticklebacks wed (This despite Freds obsession with farting and sport) ~
Joanne wished she shared Freds obsession too But she preferred instead to go to the shop Fred said “I wish I could chat sport with you” So Johanna became John and got a replica top ~
So they both enjoyed watching the water polo For a while until their loins filled with sexual need
They did not want to fulfill their needs solo So Fred became Freda so they could do the deed ~
So what sex they are now is anyones guess As they change to whatever they feel best But far from thier lives being a mess Life is always new and they feel blessed
