Description:  Dr. Ruth, the sex therapist, told a story about a couple worried about whether their activities were normal: “He would lie on his back and she would toss onion rings over his er-r-r-ect penis and eat them.” Her delivery was hilarious. I was so entertained that I wrote this round. According to Kinsey the only abnormal sex act is one performed with one’s clothing on.

Original text and translations

English text

I casually fling an onion ring.
It spins around, but where it's bound I cannot say.
It's cast away. That's how we play.
