Courage, a Tale

There was a Child

who heard from another Child

that if you masturbate 100 times

it kills you.

This gave him pause;

he certainly slowed down quite a bit

and also

.............. kept count.

But, till number 80,

was relatively loose about it.

There did seem plenty of time left.

The next 18

were reserved for celebrations,

like the banquet room in a hotel.

The 99th time

was simply unavoidable.

Weeks passed.

And then he thought

Fuck it

............ it's worth dying for,

and half an hour later

the score rose from 99 to 105.

–––Thom Gunn, Collected Poems (New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1994), p. 292

And now he has lost count at well over 200.

Thanks,

A common fate across the species.

Poor Courage the Cowardly Dog

Played too much with his pollywog

Mistress Muriel sternly warned him

Of an extreme change to his paradigm

In the end Courage went whole hog

Brigham Young was never a neutah,

A pansy or fairy or frutah,

Where ten thousand virgins

Gave in to his urgin's

We now have the great state of Utah.

...or was it Breed'em Young?

(...with apologies to all of those offended by Proposition 8... (http://ballotpedia.org/California_Propo ... ive_(2008))

A herder who hailed from Terre Haute

Fell in love with a young nanny goat,

The daughter he sired

Was greatly admired

For her beautiful angora coat.

bahhhhh!

Some folks call it "Onanism" and ANYTHING is better than begetting more of "THEM..."
