ROBBER RUNTS
ROBERT BURNS

Wee, sneaky, glowrin, vill’nous thiefies,
O, how ye filch in half a jiffy!
Ye need na fear a lawman’s e’e,
Ye are so little!
An’ fool to chase ye, one must be,
So fast ye scuttle!


IS A SPERM LIKE A WHALE?
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Shall I compare thee to a sperm whale, sperm?
Thou art more tiny and more resolute:
Rough tides may sway a sea-bound endotherm,
But naught diverts thy uterine commute.
Sometime too fierce the eye of squid may glint
And make a stout cetacean hunter quail;
Methinks ’twould take much more than bilious squint
To shake thee off the cunning ovum’s trail.
Yet still thou art not so unlike, thou two,
Both coursing through a dark uncharted brine
While fore and aft there swims thy fellow crew;
And note this echo, little gamete mine:
As whales spray salty water from their spout,
So with a salty spray dost thou come out.

I only get as far as the second line before I start cracking up:

That's deadly stuff . The fucker clearly revels in writing. It's hard to mix high style with filthy smut. it looks fuckin effortless too. It's too late to properly look at the site, but it's getting a rapacious doing tomorrow.

KIN RIP PHALLI
PHILIP LARKIN

They trim your dick, your mum and dad.
They may not need to, but they do.
They take the foreskin that you had
And leave you smoother than bamboo.

But Dad was severed in his turn
By docs in old-style masks and gowns,
Who wore a look of unconcern
While snipping little penile crowns.

Man hands on suffering to man.
It stains indelibly as ink.
They cut you early as they can,
Then wonder why you need a shrink.
