A quaint and funny fairy tale about treasure-seeking pirates who invade an island and due to one of their own distaste for the letter "O" they begin terrorizing everyone by outlawing anything with an "O" in it's name.A kid could probably read this and gain quite a bit of entertainment. But for an adult with interest in language and words, it's great because it's written (basically) in rhyme and with a very sing-songy tone.
You could present any number of socio-political allegories and be fine.
Sadly, James Thurber does not mention or describe a land with sex, but no orgasm.
