Isn’t it awfully nice to have a penis? Isn’t it frightfully good to have a dong? It’s swell to have a stiffy, It’s divine to own a dick. Fron the tiniest little tadger, To the World’s Biggest Prick! So three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas, Hurray for your one-eyed trouser snake! Your piece of pork, your wife’s best friend, Your percing or you cock. You could wrap it up in ribbons, You could slip it in your sock. But don’t take it out in public, or they will stick you in the dock, and you won’t come back. Oh, thank you very much. * * * _ **SanibelMan** _ “A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.” – Henry David Thoreau ---

Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad. Other things just make you swear and curse. When you’re chewing on life’s gristle,don’t grumble, give a whistle, And this’ll help things turn out for the best; And always look at the bright side of life. Always look on the light side of life. * * * **R** anger **J** eff \*The Idol of American Youth \* [Riders In The Sky](http://www.ridersinthesky.com) ---

We’re Knights of the Round Table. We dance whene’er we’re able. We do routines and chorus scenes With footwork impeccable. We dine well here in Camelot. We eat ham and jam and spam a lot. We’re Knights of the Round Table. Our shows are formidable, But many times we’re given rhymes That are quite unsingable. We’re opera mad in Camelot. We sing from the diaphragm a lot. In war we’re tough and able, Quite indefatigable. Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable. It’s a busy life in Camelot. I have to push the pram a lot. ---
