THE OSTOMY-SEX QUESTION.
Some people have a strong desire
to poke and probe and to enquire.
Their questions sometimes can perplex
especially when they ask of sex.
The questions that they ask of me
about my sex and ostomy,
can be a mite discomforting
as well as quite embarrassing.
Ostomates have got together,
To carefully consider whether
We could list things we might say
if these questions came our way.
We got together and we thought
Of things to say as a retort.
Now we have more counter-measures
in our little store of treasures.
If it’s someone you don’t like
you could tell them to “take a hike!”
Or if you think they want to pry
ask them if they want a try.
For those that ask about ‘THE-BAG’
“Does it affect the way we shag?”
We might reply “You are a pratt -
don’t talk about my wife like that!”
If the person seems to scoff
I tell them that “I’ll take it off.
Then I will be completely nude.
and we can both be seen as ‘rude’”.
“When wanting sex becomes your aim
bags and baggage are the same.
For each can carry so much shit.
and that may be the crux of it.”
