Ode to an Oosik

Strange things have been done in the Midnight Sun, and the story books are full..

But the strangest tale concerns the male magnificent walrus bull!

I Know it's rude, quite common and crude, perhaps it is grossly unkind;

But with first glance at least, this bewhiskered beast, is as ugly in front as behind.

Look once again, take a second look--then you'll see he's not ugly or vile--

There's a hint of a grin, in that blubbery chin, and the eyes have a sly secret smile.

How can this be, this clandestine glee that exudes from the walrus like music

He knows, there inside, beneath blubber and hide lies a splendid contrivance - the Oosik!

"Oosik" you say..and quite well you may, I'll explain if you keep it between us;

In the simplest truth, though rather uncouth, "Oosik" is, in fact, his penis!

Now the size alone of this walrus bone would indeed arouse envious thinking

It is also a fact, documented and backed, there is never a softening or shrinking.

This, then, is why the smile is so sly, the walrus is rightfully proud.

Though the climate is frigid, the walrus is rigid, pray why is not man so endowed?

Added to this, is a smile you might miss..though the bull is entitled to bow
