I see, she said, blushing ever so faintly.  
(Not at the penis, of course.  
At not seeing the penis, of course.)  
But all's well that ends well.

And wouldn't it be a grand poem in an English Anthology.
All those eager undergrads working through it.  
With the teacher explaining what metaphor is.  
How 'my love is like a red, red rose' isn't.
But the bald headed little Irishman is.

Cheers,
Ursula,   wondering if everyone saw the penis but me...


I admit to seeing the penis only in re-reading, at which point it, er, stuck 
out.  I wonder how many other famous poems are really inside jokes.
