"There's more to life than just sex," he imparted
Oh, how wise he was, that man of insight,
To enlighten me, to shed his sarcastic light.
"There's more to life than just sex," he imparted,
With a sarcastic tone, his words, unguarded.

For what could be more fulfilling, more profound,
Than the pleasure of bodies, lost and found?
But no, he scoffed, there's more to explore,
As if the physical realm was such a bore.

Oh, please, do tell, what else is there to seek,
In this grand existence, so tongue-in-cheek?
Is it the intellectual pursuits, the lofty debates?
Or perhaps the spiritual, meditating on our fates?

But wait, he said, with a smirk on his face,
There's more to life than just this earthly chase.
As if the desires that burn within our core,
Could be dismissed as something to ignore.

So here's to sarcasm, to his clever quip,
To the notion that life is more than just a trip.
But as I revel in the pleasures that I find,
I'll raise a glass to the joys of a passionate grind.

For while he may jest, with his sarcastic tone,
I'll embrace the desires that make me feel known.
Yes, there's more to life, that much is true,
But let's not forget the pleasures we pursue.
