masturbation is self-care

Masturbation is self-care,
Well obviously, it is, but 
sometimes there might be
a such 
of things,
such that too much
care is too much? For what 
it brings! And what it finds. 

Discretion argues otherwise. 

"Oh what's the harm? The use?
The good?" But folks, Discretion's 
wired-in like everything. Don't 
trust you should, just 'cause
Discretion's on your back, and urging 
you to wank you raw. I deeply doubt, 
suspect and reckon that 
Discretion's dropped 
a ball or two. 

But maybe that's a healthy thing?

Oh, here comes Prudence, such
a prude. She always rides
discretion's wing. 

Hey, go do what 
you have to, dude.

Has it occurred to you
that shame, if ever you
acquired it? Could have just
spared you so much in pain? No, 
'course not. You derided it 
as useless, per Diogenes. 

And maybe that's a healthy thing. 
Just tell you that, down on your knees
while all the world comes gathering.
