FROM EAST-NORTH-EAST TO WEST-NORTH-WEST

entry picture

The terrors that mens’ prostates hold

Are troublesome and many fold

Retention, Urgency, Weak Stream

You grey-haired blokes know what these mean

But I shall concentrate upon

From all these aspects just on one

You’ve seen it takes us old blokes longer

To take a wazz than when we’re younger

Which is why to take a piss

We now no longer stand like this

But like the ladies we sit down

For yellow now and not just brown

So by this action while we’re sat

It stops us pissing on the mat

It isn’t that we’re all to blame

Cos forward’s where we try to aim

But “forwards” these days is at best

From East-North-East to West-North-West.

You are right about idea that use prevents the prostate problem
under discussion. I've seen that promoted elsewhere. It seems
we men just can't win! Meanwhile, to adapt some famous words:
To pee or not to pee...that is the question. Whether t'is nobler on the behind......" etc. etc. 😃

Thanks, MC. I always thought that keeping the sperm flowing helped prevent prostate problems. Which I find grossly unfair given my commitment to that.
And thanks for the Like, RAP and Stephen G.

If memory serves me correctly, this was known as the "Monk's disease". Though, that seems hardly relevant to its repeated
mention in today's NHS media advertising. I wonder actually
whether in fact it might be connected in the opposite direction!
But as long as the urine flows, that reduces any problem with
back pressure etc. on the kidneys...the latter being vital to a
heathy body. I recall a late-brother-in-law who mentioned to
my sister that he hadn't taken a piss in many hours - and she
shipped him off pronto to the local hospital where he was detained for some days while they went to work on him.

I LOVE IT, STEPHEN!
And thanks for the Likes, Tim and Leon.
(It is telling that the demographic appeal of this subject matter is clear for all to see - no women have commented!)

A Dr explored my prostate cave the other week, John. He had fingers like Zeppelins. I don't think I'll ever walk the same again. 🥹

It could indeed have been the motivation for the film, Stephen.
Au contraire, Greg; mine has been extensively explored.
And thanks for the Likes, David, Holden and John.

Truly, you are becoming the poet of prostate, John. I'm sure you could put together a collection out of this little-explored poetic subject.

I feel your pain, John. I wonder whether Cary Grant had this problem? That film sounds a bit like this.
