Sonnet to the Prostate
or The Virtues of Plumbing


Oh ye callow youth, enjoy
the steady stream from inner spring -
this simple pleasure of a boy
does speed you on your merry fling.

In time the pipes, as all things must,
will block this flowing rivulet
with stones and scars, organic rust
that stems the tide of one's toilet.

but worry not - the scalpel blade
will find the spot and ream it out -
a cystoscopic fusillade,
although with temporary clout.

For when the rime of age sets in
demise of plumbing will begin.

note: It's not really a sonnet as it's in tetrameter... but this is the funny forum so I thought I could get away with it.
