Fertility and the Dove


“Fewer than half of university students were able to correctly identify the age at which a woman’s fertility declines,” said the dove.

Fertility sat polishing her fingernails.

“and only one in five knew male fertility declines at 45,” the dove went on.

Fertility blew on her nails to make them dry.

“a third of men and women thought female fertility starts to decline only at 40,” the dove continued, its voice rising to a shriek.

Fertility carefully gathered up her chromosomes, her eggs, her intracytoplasmic sperm injection, her polish, nail file, and acetone-soaked cotton balls into her purse.

“Kiss my ass,” she told the dove, and walked out the door 

(stumbling/her panties around her ankles).
