THE SET UP — I had a bilateral orchiectomy soon after I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Big words that mean my prunes have been pitted. A friend of mine, Glen Ethier, sent me this haiku like poem that smacks of the Buddhist saying "Imagine the sound of one hand clapping"
bilateral orchiectomy the sound the patient makes when he learns what it is
That, and being older than dirt has this old geezer doing his best to keep his sense of humor.
Out walking one day an elderly fellow was greatly surprised when from a puddle beside the road he heard a toad frog say
"Kiss me and I'll turn into a gorgeous blond with whom you can have your mad impetuous way".
