(The "contemptible" act of masturbation)
Nietzsche's idea of the Superman
Behold! The death of millions
This act could have saved them
Old man's health concerns the South
Africa in this zone was saved
This act could have condemned them
The moans, the creaks and the squeaks did it
Gave the act away, I heard it
A knowledge equally shared by four
It elicited motley reactions next
Its causes, positives and negatives
Icarus*, Daphne**, Erysichton***, remind me
Its esoteric, whimsical nature baffles me though
A thing of scorn to "all", hypocritically
Lest I forget, dear friend, remind me
No ill-thought though
Not to shake hands with you
For a while.
*personification of a lack of self-control
**personification of the elusive nature of women
***personification of an insatiable desire
