Thankyou, Gentlemen, for your thoughts on these matters. For years poets have tried to capture the essence of love, death, spirituality, nature and stuff and stuff like that. Clearly, given the response this post has elicited they have neglected one of the most important aspects of the human condition - wazzing.

Gents need a good scrub
Cleaner is over-employed
Ammonia lingers

Dad’s advice holds true
“Never waste a hard-on, son
Never pass a loo”

Night out down the pub
More trips to the loo than pints
Time gentlemen please

Two simple functions
One done soft and one done hard
No good at either

Don’t let him near your walnut

It’s not long enough? The youths round these parts seem to have a cure.

At any time of year, the moment bright sunshine appears, drive around the roads at high speeds, in cars with sawn-off exhausts rattling like a bag of spanners; techno boom bang-a-bang turned up to full volume, whilst performing tarmac-melting wheelspins; Beats viagra into a cocked hat,...apparently!😉

Blind fumbler takes anxious aim
Sprinkles hit the floor
