Ode to Prostate Cancer

Grinder

I found this on a Prostate Cancer website in the UK. It has "British humor" written all over it... .     ....Poem by Chris Boothby

We've had to learn a whole new lexicon New words and medical babble With such increased vocabulary We should be bloody great at Scrabble! A new website for our ailments To help that constant toilet dash It's called bladder trouble dot co UK Forward slash, slash, slash, sla! The Prostatectomy boys amongst us Still cross our legs and flinch The surgeon cuts away our prostate …And we lose that vital inch! And the ladies all remember Those spontaneous, frantic humps Now it needs to be pre-ordered Using injections, pills and pumps! But it has its compensations And it is why we're still a catch After taking you to heaven There's the bliss of no wet patch! And the side effects of hormones Can play havoc with our bits Girl's you're not the only ones Who will hear those words, 'nice ****!"

We still keep hedonistic lifestyles But our demands have changed in tone It's no longer, 'pass the e tabs' It's, 'pass the abiraterone'! Now ladies we salute you You stand by us every knock Your love is so unswerving You really are our rock! But let's just restore some balance Keep our male egos all alive Why is it as a gender, You lot still can't bloody drive?! Now no one chose to join this club It's just how our lives unfurled But, to steal the words of Carlsberg " Probably the best club in the world!' So let's continue with our battle Fight this **** all the way The tide it is a turning And we will win through one day! So bollocks then to PCa Laugh at your Gleason score And pledge that everyone of us Will be back next year for more!

Without creativity and humor it's a different ballgame. And not a better one.

Well done!
