Fishing For Compliments
A young boy fishing in a hurly-burly river
pulls up a mudpuppy instead of brim:
surprise of salamander.
How penis-looking its head
with flared gills,
frightening me.
How vigorously,
how violent it fought.
I had to call my uncle over
to come and rescue me.
Years later,
feeling male and
penile proud,
I looked at my
"male member"
and remembered
that mudpuppy.
Dear God,
had I one tenth,
one hundredths,
a thousandth even
the will to live
as that mudpuppy had
I could be the
the ithyphallic God
I've always longed to be.
Bartender, another beer here!
