Some joking poems the chaste won't read aloud.
Don't be offended that it's all obscene:
The verse my prick provokes is not highbrowed.
Tu, quicumque vides circa tectoria nostra
non nimium casti carmina plena ioci,
versibus obscenis offendi desine: non est
mentula subducti nostra supercilii.
Needless to say, I have more.

A translation of poem #46 from Priapeia, a collection of Latin epigrams to and about Priapus, a fertility god usually worshipped as an ithyphallic statue. The original:Tu, quicumque vides circa tectoria nostra
non nimium casti carmina plena ioci,
versibus obscenis offendi desine: non est
mentula subducti nostra supercilii.
Needless to say, I have more.
