Bodily  Assessments

I've heard it's been said, though I can't  confirm it
that many a woman, when her young man she rates
refers to  the size and shape of his nates
Or better, that perky arse, as they term it!

Some men will complain about their being bald
when the hair on their nuts grows almost void;
But who can deny the comment of Freud
when a patient bewailed that too bald he was called.

It is part of my shape that I stick out in front,
which shortens the length of a singlet I wear;
not so with my bum, be it covered or bare,
that would suit much better the frame of a runt.

For my looks, though, I don't give a bucket of beans,
since of physical beauty I don't have a lot:
I've been fat and quite hairy since the time of my teens
so I just make the best of what I have got.

I have never had much that I wished to flaunt,
(and still less now when I'm too old to use it )
I've a happy rotundity and don't wish to lose it
ending up in my shroud, skeletal and gaunt.

So roll on the years, my time is diminishing:
my shape however, remains much the same:
I still have a cover round a shrinking bone frame
but a hairball may well be the way I'll be finishing.
