The recent posting of "Male Health Issues -No1" saw me digging out some lines I wrote for my late brother-in-law who suffered and had to endure an emergency hospital admission to enable him to pee properly.

This is a re-post from January 2012 - with sympathy offered to all those who know what it's about.

........................................................

I ask you guys, isn't it great -

For a joke, God gave men a prostate.

It lies down below

And like a debt it will grow

To ensure men will stay awake late.

 

No rest can a man get at night

Up peeing till dawn's early light.

Exhausted, he lies

As the sun fills the skies

Even then, there's no let up in sight.

 

"Doctor, dear doctor, please...please...

Can you help with my personal ease?

There's no sleep for me

No matter how hard I pee

Or how hard I manage to squeeze!"

 

"Old chap, it's the state of your gland,

No wonder you feel less than grand.

I'll look close at it -

Maybe cut out a bit...

Lie back - let me lend you a hand."
