Long ago a man erotically bent
While cuddling in the sack
Might realize with best intent
Performance did he lack.
He may have wondered if heaven sent
And prayed to get on track;
Or not devout, he simply went
To see the local quack,
Or apothecary. To augment
Enough to make a comeback,
He bought—perhaps with her consent—
An aphrodisiac.
Ginkgo and ginseng to ferment
And stiffen what was slack.
Asparagus, too, to fix the gent
With berries, red or black.

I'm Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I'm enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I'm an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

I'm speechless! Any comment I might make would probably carry me over a line you carefully avoided crossing.
Have you seen the bent carrot ad?
I hadn't until you mentioned it, but it reminded me of videos on how to use a condom without the real equipment. And, of course, of when the Affy Tapple company made the Frosty Banana, which it no longer does.
Of course the most famous phallic symbol in America is the Washington Monument.
Actually, I think the most famous phallic symbol in American is the firearm. After all, look at how many men want to prove that they are "real men" by swaggering around with one.
Yes, sad but true. And so unfortunate for the rest of us.
I will be more careful in future days about mentioning that I don't like asparagus.
