Poem-A-Day: Day 220

Priapetic

if you suffer an erection
lasting more than four hours,
it’s probably best to use it or lose it.

I didn’t think too much of it,
not at first,
because I’ve never actually believed it as true.

but, all fairy tales have a happy ending,
and it’s a matter of the ends and the means,
so I just manage with what I have,

bury my pride,
and wonder what the outcome will be.
It’s usually desirable.
