ENLARGED PROSTATE BLUES

(Actually, fellas, get yersens tested!)

 

Got to bed around half past 10

Tossed and turned for an hour and then

Lord, lord, it can’t have been the booze;

I’d not had a drink since half past three

Nonetheless I still needed a pee

Lord, lord, I got Enlarged Prostate Blues.

 

Back to bed till a quarter to 2

Then, bugger me! I’m gonna need the loo

Lord, lord, I got Enlarged Prostate Blues.

Once upon a time I was a right good shot

Nowadays I mostly miss the pot

Lord, lord, I got Enlarged Prostate Blues.

 

I can’t piss straight cos it sprays, I guess,

From East North East round to West North West

Lord, lord, I got Enlarged Prostate Blues.

It’s best these days at night I’ve found

To piss like a woman sat sitting down

Lord, lord, I got Enlarged Prostate Blues.

 

Up again at half past 3

You’ve guessed correct I need the lavatory

Lord, lord, I got Enlarged Prostate Blues.

I’m bursting to waz but the waz won’t come

For 10 minutes more I’m just sat on my bum

Lord, lord, I got Enlarged Prostate Blues.

 

Another one at 5 and then at half past 6

I envy you young ‘uns that can piss right quick

Lord, lord, I got Enlarged Prostate Blues.

Get up at 8 0’clock with a cup of decaf tea

The cycle starts again as I’m off for a pee

Lord, lord, I got Enlarged Prostate Blues.

Where did you get one long enough to be able to do this, MC?

P.S. My "somewhat technical" advice was designed for
those actually engaged in urination and experiencing the
feeling that the bladder was not quite empty - a not uncommon symptom of an enlarged prostate. Experience will tell you if
it is needed and if it works for you.

Following the sage, if somewhat technical advice from MCN, I am urged to say to all contributors, unless you suffer from the condition mentioned in the title DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME unless you have a convenient mop stationed nearby!!

A tip for sufferers of spasmodic urination. Try squeezing the
organ using thumb and forefinger immediately behind the glans
(helmet) and maintaining pressure. This can have the useful effect of building up some pressure that sees added urination to provide relief that can delay more frequent need....or so I've found. Handy (no pun intended!) to aid extended sleepy time! A practice that might be termed "Poetry in motion" in this context perhaps.

Thankyou, Stephen. I confess I over-egg my inconvenience, although on rare occasions I can be a 6-times-a-night man. Usually though by managing it (not drinking after 5pm) it’s 2. And thanks for the Likes, Bethany, Paige and Tim.

A good message, John. I went through this some years ago, although having been first tested at 50, I sorta knew it was coming. I was constantly described as a 'young patient'. A lot better now.

Thankyou, MC. I understand that prostate cancer is one of the most treatable types provided it’s caught early enough. Yet so many men seem reluctant to get tested. And thanks for the Likes, Holden, Stephen and Paige.

An original rendition (shades of "Muddy Waters"😎) that sings
soulfully of a nuisance condition that plagues mainly older men.
No medical reason has been discovered for its emergence and
it affects its victims to varying degrees. It is certainly to be
given attention but it is not necessarily linked to cancer. I've
been on the medical merry-go-round for years after my then
GP thought my PSA reading required urology attention. I was
told it was unlikely I had cancer but that was merely the
prelude to being kept in the "maybe it might be" syndrome.
DIET is worth mentioning ,with foods like tomatoes, broccoli,
pomegranate and turmeric possessing qualities that are
said to be good for the prostate, along with olive oil as a very
useful "lubricant" for the body and its circulation in general.
Moral: Eat wisely - live heathily...and keep everything moving!
😌 Good luck!.
