Vasectomy poetry and lyrics

To some it's a sore subject, but to others it's inspiration. And to a few it's both sore and inspiring.

We'll start with a haiku by Carlos Alden (he's got a whole page of them).
Films, television
La-Z-Boy and frozen peas
A bizarre three days
Here's a "snippet" of a poem by Mary Brooks:
Snip and solder,
cauterize.
Appointment at 2:30.
Tomorrow.
And I say,
step up to the plate,
and bring me home big shooter.
Here's a slice of a song lyric by Thom Parrott:
There's just one thing I don't understand.
You say you haven't been with any other man,
But I had the tube cut from that gland,
So, honey, there ain't no way.
And another by Guns 'n Roses, believe it or not: "Get Into the Ring"
And when you're talkin' about a vasectomy
Yeah
I'll be writin' down your obituary
History
Finally, here are some songs you can listen to instead of just reading the lyrics:Next week: vasectomy-inspired embroidery
