Spongy tissue inside the penis engorged with blood and the penis swells and elongates?

This process is known as an erection. It is primarily caused by increased blood flow to the erectile tissue in the penis, specifically the corpora cavernosa. When sexually aroused, the arteries leading to the penis dilate, allowing more blood to flow in and fill the spongy tissue, resulting in a firm and enlarged penis.

What is the function of the erectile tissue?

The corpus spongiosum is the the cylinder of soft tissue that runs inferior to the corpus cavernosa. It extends from the bulb of the penis (or bulbo spongiosum) and at the distal end is continuous with the head of the penis. Through the center of the corpus spongiosum runs the urethra. While the corpus cavernosa become very solid, to form the support for the penis, the corpus corpus spongiosum remains relatively soft. This allows it to hold the urethra open so the semen can easily be released.

What would cause a male in his 60's penis to become crooked?

There are chambers in the penis called the corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum, the former being pairs on either side. Physical trauma and other medical conditions can cause scarring, and this in turn makes that portion of the "spongy" expandable corpus cavernosum, not be able to become engorged with blood like the opposite side, causing a bending toward the scarred side. Take a baloon, and while blown up just a little, place some tape on one side, tightly to the balloon surface. As you continue to blow up the balloon, it will bend in the direction of the tape, because the other side is expanding more than the taped side. As with all medical conditions, this should be checked by a doctor to ensure nothing more serious is at fault.
