Note: For those of you who have not read many of these particular types of poetry, or you are a devotee of that fine series devoted to the nice lady from Nantucket (she really knows how to...well, you know), be prepared...

And after this past week, I needed a laugh...and maybe you did, too?

I once found my wife in bed

with a man who had no head.

The sex was third-rate.

She had to masturbate...

but at least the guy was dead.

Nothing to see, folks.
