Just another Valentine's prostate

On Valentine' weekend, my husband challenged me to write a poem to accompany this MR image of a prostate with an heart shaped enlarged median lobe. Who says romance is dead?! 



Just another Valentine’s prostate

 

Well hello MR Prostate,

With your swollen median lobe,

Hormonal heart now on display

(Unseen by ultrasound probe).

 

Your love is overflowing;

Meanwhile just lie there prostrate

Above the pelvic floor;

To me, there’s no vas deferens,

I’ve seen it all before.
