Big Balls

The little things in life are as interesting as the big ones - Thoreau

i wish i had big balls

to avoid life's pitfalls

to win barroom brawls

to go over niagara falls

to push my car when it stalls

to press the buttons on aerosols

i wish i had big balls

to keep away from malls

to not play with dolls

to roll over everything that crawls

to support heaven's walls

to follow "the good book's" protocols

big enough to answer god whenever he calls

This just made me chuckle; sometimes I can’t contain the juvenile in me. My mind went in a few directions from
• It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog that matters
• Who wants a small cup of coffer or a small glass of wine
• Size doesn’t matter, its what you do with it that counts
I enjoyed your post; I really needed a chuckle after the crap day I’ve had

just having some fun although there is sone disillusioned truth in thinking what it might do for us.

I'd be afraid to admit this but since it's just you and me...I had a fetish and actually purchased some just to fondle. You won't believe what a set costs!
Anyhoo...that was back in the day... I'm sure prices have increased greatly since 2022.

[Pete]

i'm sure you're not alone in that. to each their own and whatever floats your boat. inflation is terrible - not even family jewels are immune.

[G]

I was joking.
"Family jewels"..."Inflation"...I get it...I think.

Haha, loved this one. You've a real flair!
"Size matters." -Thoreau ? :)

[Pete]

careful - don't get too big for them.

Well in my medical back ground, big balls are extremely painful lol 😂 anyway I completely get the sentiment in this piece. I believe women and men alike feel this pull and thought in life

[Pete]

well, as they say, it's not the size that matters but how you use them. happy new year.

[Poetic Beauty]

I do believe that reference to the pokey stick lmao 🤣 but you are correct

[Pete]

lol. only a woman would call it that.

[Poetic Beauty]

I could have called it a pogo stick or a hot poker lmao

[D. Mansfield]

He had the biggest balls of them all. Then you turn 60 and understand what they mean when they say "just sitting around on my nuts" lol

[Pete]

lol. i wouldn't want them turning blue either.

An Artist in the beginning of Time knew what to sketch for the Creator...
each according to his Measure... for Women a sculpture was molded each according to her pleasure... we will always treasure poetry... softly, Pat

[Pete]

indeed pat, the creator is a master craftsman. on to bigger and better things like stanzas and verses. happy new year dear poetess.

Juevos grande! This one tickles my juvenile funnybone. After my last heart surgery and lying in ICU, I woke up with a pair of maracas between my legs. (Credit to Joe's garage) You wouldn't believe how well I push cars.

[Pete]

just having a bit of fun. you must be able to make beautiful music with those maracas not to mention not needing a toe truck.
