The first time I heard that commercial, I thought it said "24 hours" and I  
was entirely nonplussed.

now having to explaining to my children what "erectile dysfunctioning" is  
because of a Disney TV movie they were watching.

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.)
