"Tim Mathieson, former first bloke caused a stir with comments at a fundraiser! Good message though - check your prostate!

Tim's Message

It seems Tim's recent comments have upset some

In relation to Prostate checks and fingers up the bum.

I listen to the rhetoric and the feigned indignation

With both amusement and a weary resignation.

From experience I have just really got to say

That if it's my choice, small hands are the way.

It's a test you tolerate, there's certainly no love

Of an appointment that's climax is the surgical glove.

Now I'll have you know when it happened to I

I trembled and grimaced - a tear in my eye

Though I cursed those large hands and poor lubrication

The positive results provided a fair compensation

So all you wowsers stop whining, Tim's got it right

Those big hands still keep me awake late at night!

And the time's fast approaching to do it once more

So I'll heed Tim's advice 'cause he knows the score.

Use a doctor with hands that are caring and tender

Smallish is good but it's a must they are slender

Then pass the message to others and with confidence state

Go on check your Prostate - it's no big deal mate!

John Mason.
