Testicular protestation

for crepuscular consternation. 

He really really really wanted to go for a dip. 
But his gonads really really really didn't want to. 
He begged and he pleaded and he coerced.
They begged and they pleaded and they retreated. 

In the end, he won. He got his 12 second immersion. 

They won't forgive and forget. Actually, they haven't reappeared yet.
