    The uncouth youth was, in truth, just a hobbledehoy; yet, w/in the awkward boy, was the makings of a man whose motto was "I CAN!" #poem

    If love doesn’t make a woman cattywampus and a man a hobbledehoy …then give it a rethink…it may not be love at all…

    A hobbledehoy's dysfunction is that he has erections when he doesn't want to. A 'mature' man's dysfunction is that he can't when he wants.
