Good news! The MRI found no fiend within (and my PSA level has subsided--look it up, if you're curious).

This was done in March 2024 as a follow-up to a laser treatment in 2022 which reduced the age-related oversizing of a private part not often discussed in public. Back then, I wrote a series of 11 "Prostate Tales," all metric, rhymed verse of various forms: nine were 50-words each (one for each appointment) plus a 100-word prelude and a 150-word postlude. Had I known about the 149-word challenge last month, I could easily have tweaked that to 149 words without harm to meter or rhyme. I enjoyed these poetic challenges far more than the diagnostic treatments!
