I am looking for the words to a poem and I think it is called "Sex is Like a Gift Wrapped in Brown Paper". I only remember a few words of it "...marked handle with care...given to the highest bidder...". I think it is a wonderful poem for kids coming of age and I can't find the copy I had.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is this it?


Sex . . . Is Like a Gift Wrapped in Brown Paper
poem by Ruth Senter

There’s a beautiful gift inside this package.
It’s wrapped for protection,
Tied for security.
Stamped: “Fragile!” “Handle with Care!”


It’s easy to loosen the strings,
To let anyone tear away the wrapping,
To give the gift without commitment —
Offer it to the highest bidder,
Or hand it out as the prize for a game.


There’s a gift wrapped inside this brown paper.
It’s for keeps — not to be exchanged.
No deposit. Nonreturnable.
It’s a surprise,
A happy treat to be opened by the person
To whom it’s addressed,
On the date marked “Forever.”
