He needs little or no introduction in the entertainment world as since his emergence on the scene many years ago, Charley Boy has continued to prove that he is a force to reckon with.
He recently made news after he took to his IG page to share a poem saying how he has outlived his penis.
The poem which was written by Willie Nelson read thus;
I have outlived my P*nis
My hammer days are over
His Light is out
What use to be my pride and joy
Is now my water pipe.Time was when, on its own accord, from my pants it would spring.
But now I have got a full time job
to awaken a dead pipeIt was once embarrassing the way it behaved.
For every single morning it would
rise without consultation.Now as old age approaches,
It sure gives me the blues.
To see my hammer hang it’s head,
And watch me tie my shoes
