Ball Fall-Out

Ball fall-out is a serious subject in the discussion of men’s underwear,

though seldom will you see it discussed as openly as here.

Women, of course, do not have the problem

and may skip ahead to the following poems.

Indeed, any further attention to this one

can only be considered prurient. 

But back to the subject at hand, ball fall-out,

it can happen in either of two distinct ways: 

1) a hole worn in the bottom-most part,

2) faulty design in the first place— scant fabric.

I have been troubled by both of these

and foolishly tried to ignore them,

going around with a scowl on my face

that no one could reasonably interpret.

All I can say, from years of experience, is, 

Boys, this problem will not cure itself.

Either get out your needle and thread and sew,

or spring for a new pair of shorts. 

This is not the time to be stoic.
