“Oh, my balls….”

Oh, my balls…

Oh, my balls are a tangled mess /

Clattered together like a car wreck compress. /

Oh, my balls are twisted tight. /

Not really painful, but oh, what a sight. /

Oh, my balls are dangling there /

Unable to move in the moaning air. /

Yes, my balls are one big wad. /

They’d be blue if attached to a bod. /

But thankfully, they’re just hanging there, /

Bunched up on their rack without a care.

Autumn evening paints /

in the hues of memory:

fading and poignant.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Quixotic”

Quixotic

Young sunflower tries — /

facing winter’s stern shadow — /

to grow and thrive.
