Circumcision

Above the entrance door
was an advertising clock
to denote a time piece store,
but when I asked a watch to see,
the owner said politely
he has nothing to sell to me,
his only service is circumcision
which he does with great precision
I asked him about the clock over his door,
he claimed a male organ was there before
but the City wanted to close his store
so he hung this clock over his door,
thinking about it I suggested a sign,
'great improvement of male genital'
which really sounds quite benign,
a much better ad for the store,
besides with the ladies and gents
his business would score.
