The Population Boom. By Ian Copestick

Whenever I hear about the population
Of the world, now they always say
7 billion but 30 years ago when I was at school
Then it was always 6. Somehow, when my
Back was turned, another billion just
Sprung up, out of nowhere. Just think of it
So as well as all of the people who have died
In that time, another 1000000000000
Extra have arrived. Someone has been
Having a hell of a lot of sex
Well, it certainly wasn't me !
