I have a cactus in my garden
It’s phallic to say the least
As if possessing
The power of an aphrodisiac,
Though none have tried it out.
It’s called the penis cactus
(Causes every one to smile)
You can clearly understand why.
It’s flanked by two companions
One green and quite majestic
The other with a rather, bright red knob.
Impressive is its prowess
Never limp nor flaccid
It stands proudly erect,
Or at least it did.
Like its owner its colours have lowered
Now in expectation, semi prepared,
But ever ready.
I fear nature is telling me something
It has a multiple sets of testes
Seems to be producing more
There’s a message in that to be sure.
Grow a set I was once told
And these I do rejoice in
They are fine and spikey
I smile as you step back
As they are not for fondling at all.

I’ve written and deleted several comments …. oh my …. instead of commenting I’ll just smile and applaud. A fun read — what a hoot! 🙂
Thank you Jen, you deleted? Be brave. Happy I gave you a laugh. It’s actually in flower at present on the underside.
🙂
There were so many wonderful lines in your story – couldn’t really point to one favorite. Fun all the way.
Thank you Jen you are very kind.
🙂
Well, I’m happy you included a picture otherwise I’d have thought you were boasting…
Nothing like a good double entendre to get you set for the day (I’m reading this in the morning) – thank you for that!
Haha gave you a laugh to start your day Marina, makes it all worthwhile.
In a window in Oxford St this year someone had placed a garden of crocheted cactus just like this. They made us laugh, just like your poem did. Good one, Michael.
Thank you Karen, happy it so for you. Have a good weekend.
Hi-la-ri-ous!
Thank you so much Viv. Have a good evening/morning.
Prickly penises are not for the fainthearted.. They sure look better than I guess they feel though.
Well Bjorn i never intend to find out. Thanks so much for your comment.
Your clever poem “Causes every one to smile”. Thanks for the grin this morning.
HI Debi, thanks for reading, I’m happy to make you smile.
ouch… just the thought you know… ha
Thanks Claudia, yes I can see how it might make your eyes water.
LOL Very cleverly done Michael. Made me laugh out loud. Great way to start a morning. 🙂
Thanks Jackie, glad to add some mirth to your morning.
Ahaha, you made me laugh out loud on my first day off, Michael. Love your sense of humour, such a wit you have!
Thank you Cheryl-Lynn to give you a laugh makes my day.
I think he wants a bigger pot to grow in! smiles…….
Yes Sherry you are right, but its a delicate operation to do so and he is in flower at the moment.
Blatant bawdiness was frowned upon in Puritan Britain. Nonsense verse was one way to get round the restriction; the meaning lay entirely in the mind of the interpreter. You’ve managed to capture something of that spirit in your poem.
Thank you Tony I have long looked for an avenue in which to write about my penis cactus. Thank you again.
laughed out loud when I read this! Well done!
Thank you Bill, happy I could give you a laugh.
