Abstinence

I watched my penis today.
Mom said if I play with my peewee
she'd be able to tell.
Your face will go all slack and stay that way
Dad must have played with his too much,
he had a stroke, or maybe I should say
one stroke too many.
It scared me
now i just stare at it and ache.

[serge gurkski]

i can see a limmerick behind your dick.
loved.
but if you say: "i stare at it and ache." empirical evidence forces me to reply to this: yes, I relate but last Sunday I stared at it in awe.
But! It scared me to death. I dunno. I wasn't prepared.

See, how close you were.
Thank you.
Oh, we are in the sewer?

Hi Billy, love this though I must wonder why you are watching your penis. At any rate enjoyed this very much, nice visual.
best,
Heart

I've heard it's a common pastime for the male population.


I love the way you've managed to fit in some clever humour, but from the perspective of a child - all sounding like something a child might say.

You really have that knack of writing poems that ought to be funny -- and are -- but then we just sit and think about how bloody serious they actually are. A bit Larkin-esque actually.

[shemthepenman]

this is great! oh damn, but I must slightly disagree with Leanne, I think the opposite (that isn't slightly is it. I mean, I think you show the humour in seriousness.

as in:

"yeah, so what your dad's dead? All our dads die. We all die. We're all just meat being shoveled into a grave... no body want's to hear that on a night out" [Stewart Lee]

Ooops I thought the title read Absinthe, that made my face go all slack but I don’t remember if I touched my willy or not, nice write Billy funny with that dark undertone you’re so good at. TOMH
