unsuccessfully.
It is not at all like shit
which all of us, except the hungriest,
produce.
Nor like polluted air
that everyone must breathe.
As Latin-speakers testified
it is more like testosterone
produced by little nuts
inside a little wrinkly purse.
All men need some
and those who have too much
produce yet more
and become Lords of our Scrotal Universe.
Ubi id scriptum est? - Martinus
ReplyDeleteLatin scrotum, probably transposed from scortum "a skin, hide" (see corium), perhaps by influence of scrautum "leather quiver for arrows." [Etymological dictionary online]
ReplyDeleteIn French, Bourse means purse, the Paris Stock Exchange, and scrotum.
The scrotum contains the 'little nuts' (testiculae) which are Les bijoux de la Famille or 'Family Jewels'.
Correction: Testiculi diminutive of testes or 'nuts'.
