Things Hanging Down To His Knees

When men get older, parts often sag
The "boys" hang low, sometimes they drag
or even worse, steep
in loo waters deep
like tender tea leaves swathed in a bag

*companion piece to "For Jan - no contest."  Thought we'd best be honest about this sagging business.  Jan — got a photo for this one?

Great limericks! You've inspired me to write one. Thanks for reading my poem on Feet and for the complement of reading it through. I hesitated posting it because not many Soupers like long poems. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M

The cold water should help with the sagging! Thanks for the chuckle. Those with little danglers must be thankful that gravity is not as pronounced.
