Gland

My prostrate
has been great
I owe it much pleasure
Would that it live forever.
Alas, this gland of mine
now finds itself in decline
So says a man
who does not want to be less than.
The diagnosis of a tumour
has cut into my humour
While I know I am not alone
I feel nervous about a future unknown.
I say to my prostrate
this situation does not make me irate
Even less do I feel hate
at this turn of fate.
That said, I would prefer
that this gland so dear
would be less on my mind
and more at the service of womankind.
