PRE-PUBESCENT PURPLE PILLOCKS

The first time I ever was aware,
My little balls were hanging there,
Was at the age of three or four,
While playing with the girl next door.

No, do not get the wrong idea,
I was not showing her my gear,
We were just playing hide and seek,
" You count, I'll hide so do not peek ".

I saw a bush that looked just right,
I hid, but then got such a fright,
A hornets' nest had got there first,
If I'd known how to I'd have cursed.

The deadly swarm flew up my shorts,
They stung and stung my tender parts,
The sight of purple iodine applied,
Will stay with me until I die.
