By waking to find I’m without either testicle

L Milton Hankins December 5, 2021 at 5:11 PM Terry, I thought this was incredibly amusing, and I couldn't help but wonder what that was the case. Congratulations, friend! Now, I'll need to go back and read what I'm presuming is a more explanatory poem, eh? Terry Flood December 6, 2021 at 1:03 AM Thanks Milt and thanks for my placement in your contest. You did enjoy the full text at the time, because I had to Google ‘LMAO’. Terry
