Yet one more poema for the road:
THE WEATHERED COCK
Through forty years he stood
straight as wood,
tall and demanding,
crowing his prowess,
the world was his oyster
all drenched in moisture,
but now it's Cialis that keeps his phallus
less bent than his back.
(Erections lasting longer than four hours
require immediate medical attention
not to mention
a partner who likes it.)

Olav H. Hauge:
THE WEATHER COCK
The blacksmith molded him
with tail and comb,
high he rose,
the world was new,
and the winds many.
He was eager,
tip-toed, screamed,
and brushed his feathers
for every gust of wind.
He stood tall in storms,
and streched his neck --
Until he stuck in rust
and remained gazing
obliquely northwise.
The draught most often
comes from there.
