Hard as an Anvil and a Stone

Hard as an Anvil and a Stone

…. “bygge” ~ Thomas Malory, Le Morte d’Arthur

Stuck in, pulled out, stuck in, pulled out, again

Again, again, again, the weapon he had found

That only he could wield, the best of men,

The one to do it, stout young Arthur crowned

Himself because of his performance.  He

Had proved himself deserving with his yank

And thrust.  Young Arthur did it naturally.

This talent gave strong Arthur topmost rank.

The others watching this did not know Freud,

This Sigmund’s views.  The winner did not know

Them either.  Thrusting in that tightest void

And yanking out, he made his stature grow

In other men as they stood watching him

Confirming he was best with manly limb.
