I'm sure a lot of you have seen the hoo-ha about the word SCROTUM (OMG don't read that your eyes will melt) in a children's book and the call to have the book banned as a result

http://publishersweekly.com/article/CA6416737.html?nid=2788

There has been wank. Unsurprisingly. LitWank. LibraryWank. Sigh. Sometimes I think fandom is sane.

Anyhoo. Charles Finlay asked people to post poems including the word Scrotum on this post.

Go read. I lost my tea several times. There are limericks. There are Odes. There's a fucking SONNET for goodness sake. All ... brilliant.

I've missed the deadline but I was inspired to write:

"It's a scrotum, dear boy," said his mother.
"But it's rude so you must use another,
"Call them cobblers or balls,
"Or male profiteroles,
"But use scrotum and you'll annoy Big Brother"

Your bollocks will fall off and die
If the word 'scrotum' passes your eye;
Your cock will just wibble,
Your clitoris shrivel.
Your vagina will simply ask: WHY???

I scanned through the "official" entrants to the contest, and some were wonderfully amusing, but I must say--Scout's honor--I liked your limerick best.

"male profiteroles"--snerk.

I should have taken example from you and not had tea whilst reading that - My laptop is upside down now and I will have sticky keys for a week!

Hilarious - thank you so much ^_^.
