Codger (Bawdy Limerick)

An oldish codger from Newfoundland
thought to pleasure himself with his hand;
but though he was bent on
achieving a hard-on,
things simply didn't go as he planned!

The old codger, upon circumspection,
knew t'was futile to get an e***tion.
With a dong so flaccid,
limp, flabby and vapid,
he knew he'd need a doctor's inspection.

Yes, they bleeped out the whole word. I had to go back and insert some of the letters. Rather prudish, I think.
