Questionable medical advice
There was once a man with an awful stutter
Hardly a sentence he could clearly mutter
A life like that was very tough
Then one day he had enough
A medical professional he went to see
And asked “p-p-p-p-p-lease help me”
Doctor was unsure, but would try
Gave him an inspection toe to eye
The doc was shocked by what he found
The cause was obvious and quite profound
Doc told him as far as he can remember
No man should have such a generous member
Doc explained with charts and finger
Where his blood tends to linger
It flows down far easier than up
So his vocal cords were out of luck
Doc had an idea for a procedure
To replace it with a less prominent feature
Then return the blood flow back to normal
And help him start to speak more formal
He had a good job and wife too
For their sake he’d see it thru
Tho he and his member had grown attached
He thought it best to have it dispatched
After a few weeks had past
He went to see the doc at last
With words smooth, crisp and clear
Things weren't as good as they appear
He told the doc his wife is sad
His secretary too is not glad
He discovered to his surprise
For some what matters, is size
“Doctor I’ve come to ask”
“If reattaching is too big a task”
The doctor looked him the the eye
And told him to “f-f-f-f-f off” goodbye
