Phallocentricity
By Talisker

I knocked this one out in about three minutes flat.

Look at me hanging here,

limp and pathetic, no tear,

shed for an uglesome thing.

All loose skin and veins,

A hair maybe here,

maybe there.

 

Yet, wake me if you dare!

Enter the penis’ lair,

how pumped up and proud

am I – a glint in my one

slanted eye.

 

When my work here is done,

and my owner’s had fun,

time to sleep and recoup,

I’ve been cock-a-hoop,

allow me now, blessed brewer,

to droop.

Are you saying yours isn't as handsome in repose as it is noble when standing proud? 
 
I really liked: A glint in my one/slanted eye. 
 
Enjoyed this, as it seems you did!

Loved the title Oli..and the rest of it brought a wry smile to my lips. Thought the last couple of lines finished it off perfectly. Now I`ll get back to short stories etc where I feel more at home!

...personally risen to the occasion for some years now--diabetes , pills of all kinds have a (shall we say ) *soothing* effect. 
 
And I have just been reading some of the later works of Ursula leGuin, who goes one step furhter at times to clito-phallo-centricity . 
 
Sherri S Tepper too , in one of the Jinian series , is a bit hard on ( oops ) the hard on. 
 
Feminism strikes !  
 
Keep it up

Disgusting.

Disgusting! Simply quite disgusting. Not at all the kind of degenerate, public lewdness that any decent Christian wants to read having just got in from Morning Mass. I just give thanks to God Father O'Gara did not live to witness such depravity displayed so brazenly and with neither concern nor contrition to redeem it. 
 
I had to read it three times to make sure it was not a mis-print. 
 
And, before you ask, ' No. I have not brought any of my own bags......And No! I don't have a bloody Clubcard!!! 
 
My fondest compliments to you, Old Sinner.
