“Italy’s state broadcaster, Rai, has been accused of censorship after using an image of Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man with the genitals missing in the opening credits for its Winter Olympics coverage.”
—The Guardian

Vitruvius is feeling vitriolic.
And honestly his question’s quite a facer:
While some are swelling with hyaluronic,
Why has he been unmanned by an eraser?

The case has caused no end of consternation
(At his age most are moaning of podagra);
To make a break from this vituperation,
Vitruvius now wants vitruviagra.
