From Here to Paternity?

A knock on the door. 
He opened it, she burst in, 
flung her arms around his neck. 
They tore the clothes off each other,
as they’d seen in films. 
He hoisted her up.
She wrapped her legs
around his waist,
as she’d seen on TV. 
In this position, he slammed her 
up against the wall, 
as he’d read in pulp fiction… 
However, he couldn’t 
complete the act, 
so, he carried her to the bed 
where he discovered 
he’d run out of condoms. 
They decided to adopt 
the medieval popes’ 
favoured position: 
Vat 69.
