“Melons & Dongles (The Sonnet)

It is one thing to embrace one's imperfections,
But there is nothing empowering in popping melons.
It is one thing to fight for equal pay rights,
Totally another to fight for the freedom of nipples.
On the other side, nobody wants a dongle in their inbox,
Only the dumb and callow care about your greek abs.
Men who are concerned more with grooming than behaving,
Raise a red flag to those with character and heart.
It is one thing to stay healthy through regular workout,
And totally another to worship one's body in the mirror.
All that packaging isn't worth even a confederate bill,
If inside all you have left is stinky narcissistic vapor.
So I say, stay healthy, but embrace your imperfections.
Once the packaging is gone, what'll be your contribution?”
