Heading for trouble

Young Ramu took girlfriend to bed,
She got pregnant, 'coz he had misread,
The doctor's advice,
On birth control device,
And was wearing a cap on his head!


TOI 21/05/06: A survey of 50 adolescent boys from slums in Pune has revealed that only 28 of them used a condom. Another four said that they used "alternatives" like a balloon or even a milk bag! Twelve of the respondents said they didn't use anything. Read about the study here

    If the survey is a sample,
    Then it is quite an example
    Of why birth control measures fail,
    In population control we trail
    And produce kids in nos. ample!
