Total Testicles

This is the first stanza of a sonnet from my collection "Total Testicles" now available from Gutter Publishing; all proceeds from the sale thereof will be donated to my favourite charity, The Budgie Smugglers Foundation.

Dit dah, dit dah, dah dit dit lah di dah ?

Di dum, di dum, a rumpy pumpy pum,

Dah diddly dee, di dum doh ray mi fah;

Tarah rah boom de ay, reet lot o’ fun!

Uilleam ...
