writing a poem
while in the john
damn it!
that didn't take long.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Again I hide
to pen a short one
and flushed with pride
I'm already done
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
thought I would write
while sitting here
but my paper is quite
used up, I fear
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
the quips that I read
here on these walls
somehow succeed
where my 'effort' falls
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
this time - no
I don't have to go
(and I do believe
we're both relieved)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
(Inspired by the classic, anonymous poem :)
Here I sit, broken-hearted
tried to shit, but only farted
