POEM: Ding-A-Ling Lore
This was written for the CPC’s Thematic Attic Thursday poetry challenge.
Host Bettie’s theme is National Ding-A-Ling Day.
DING-A-LING LORE
When Chuck sang of his ding-a-ling,
did he mean some non-ringing thing?
When Anita Wood urged “ring my bell”
was there meaning she could not tell?
The question, I am assuming,
is: is it just a ding-a-ling
who thinks “ding-a-ling” has meaning
solely confined to bells’ pealing?
The answer would seem positive,
and far more broadly assertive
as euphemisms for some things
more personal than mere bell rings.
