Ode to a Testicle

The doctor said it's mystical
The nurse was ever practical
My friends were always cynical
I have an extra testicle

In school they called it magical
The tailor called it tragical
The girls all had a festival
I have an extra testicle

The jealous called it minuscule
Their thoughts so very clerical
It's all extremely medical
I have an extra testicle

A few have said it's radical
And all have called it laudable
It's totally symmetrical
I have an extra testicle

Stephen Redgwell - 1998


Stephen, that is,.................comical.


Thank you. smile

I'll leave you with this short bit. For those who are unfamiliar with the form, it is a type of nonsense verse. Like George Bush, you too can make use of 'the Google'.

It would have been more appropriate for a poetical outdoor writer to have incorporated "reticle" into the Extra Testicle poem.

I had Leupold change my reticle
To mo' better hit that animal
It's all so hypothetical
I have an extra testicle
