The poem [Can a limerick qualify as poetry? Is "good limerick" oxymoronic?], as he delivered it.
I know you're not feeling so sexy,
Not even when I go all flexy.
But still I crave you,
And so want to screw.
I can't help but get all erectsy.
So what, might I ask, should I do,
When your choice is sex to eschew?
I could stroke my thing,
All juice from it wring,
Remembering hot times with you.
Or you could relieve my distress,
A quickie or penile caress.
With YOU sex is best,
It adds so much zest,
When my cock you wholly possess.
But I'd rather not be a jerk,
Demanding from you handiwork.
So please let me know,
Which way I should go.
My query I hope doesn't irk.

At bedtime she was torn, in the throes of a dilemma.
Sure, she loved him. They'd been married seventeen years, he was a good man, a great father, a considerate lover, and the little poem he'd written that day was amusing. Totally him. Also, she had to admit that his contention that it was her mood that determined the extent of their amorous activity -- if and when sex occurred -- was actually accurate. And that they really hadn't had a sex life lately. However, the basic message was that if she was not into sex at the moment and he was, she should just get him off. He'd tried to say it cutely, but...
Really?
What was he thinking? Or rather, what
part
[We all know what part, don't we?] of him was doing the thinking?
First, he should have known by now that she did not appreciate being told what to do. By anyone. About anything. He also had evidently totally forgotten she was a feminist. How could it not occur to him that suggesting that she just "service" him might be at least a trifle offensive, might raise her hackles? And then, in essence, to state that if she didn't "do" him, he'd just jerk off. She'd been tempted to tell the jerk off! But another thought came to her, right at bedtime, decision time for her. He had preceded her to bed and was reading, obviously, pathetically, hopeful. Her idea became a plan.
When she got under the covers beside him and didn't read or do her usual crossword puzzle (they WERE a middle aged married couple, after all), instead just turned off the light, he quickly -- oh God, how transparent! -- did the same with his. She lay there a moment on her back while her plan took final form. Images of tables turning, flipping mid-air, flitted through her mind. She slid over and lay on her side facing him. Oh-so-predictably he turned towards her.
Her left hand reached out, pulled down the covers, traced down his stomach, and found his...
Well, what term to use?
Member
[A word with so many meanings] would work if we want to be coy, but in this case it would more accurately be described as his
noodle
[Not a top tier term]. That was surprising -- though he was purportedly horribly horny and earnestly eager (thus the limerick) -- he didn't even have an
erection
[Pretty clinical].
Well, she took care of that. She knew his buttons and pushed a few. After a minute or so of facile fondling, his
pole
[Not bad] was standing up, tall and taut.
She continued her
penile
[Hmm. One wonders if a cock cage is a penile institution?] massage and frankly enjoyed how
he
[Interesting: equating his
penis
with him. Do we suppose he ever does that?] grew stiffer and more engorged in her hand as she stroked
