A puddle and a poo!
By punchy
30 October 2007
Thought  I would lighten up by lowering the tone!


There's a puddle and a poo on the bathroom floor
I nearly slipped over when I walked in the door

                                          I never did a puddle, I never did a poo
                                            I really didn't do it, I promise it's true

A puddle and a poo are you sure it wasn't you
Did you have a little trouble getting to the loo

                                              I never did a puddle, I never did a poo
                                               I really didn't do it I promise its true

But  someone did a puddle and someone did a poo
And noone else lives here only me and you

                                               I really didn't do it I would say if it was me
                                                When I really need to go I sit before I pee

But maybe you were caught short, couldn't get to it in time
 It really doesn't matter I promise it is fine

                                         I never did a puddle, I never did a poo
                                             I really didn't do it, maybe it was you

For goodness sake I'm 38 I know to use the toilet
If I ever need to go  I sit, I never soil it

                                            But maybe being slightly drunk
                                               Forgot what you were doing

I think if I was off my face
 I'd know if I was pooing!!!!

This is one of those I never expect to find on here. The only thing that kept me reading to the end was the hope of discovering who had made such a mess of the bathroom, but nothing. If you're under 12 then yeah, not bad, otherwise lowbrow man, lowbrow.

Lowbrow, eh. Well God knows where my brow is then. It must be round my ankles,because I thought this was cheeky and funny. It was also well structured and had it's own rhythm and rhyming pattern which keeps it in my "comfort zone" for poetry. There's a place for scatalogical work, it doesn't all have to be about misery angst and suicide. 
Poems are allowed to be funny,aren't they?

Hey, I turn my nose up at over-angsty poems as much as anyone, and of course poems can be funny. The word poo just isn't that funny to me anymore and let's be honest, that's the joke.

I thought the offender was going to be a puppy ... maybe you just pushed the idea a touch too far by making both speakers human!

But who did it in the end? That is still unanswered! 
Liked this. It flowed well and had everything a poem needs and more.
Poo is still funny!

I'm very pleased my poo poem has been appreciated by some and also pleased it has been read by others. 
At 38 I still thoroughly enjoy toilet humour and seeing as this recieved quite a few views I think you all secretly agree. 
I could,t finish it because just the thought of posting it on this site gave me the giggles and I couldn't finish but one day soon I shall reveal the culprit. I posted it on the adult section for a response but this according to my children is the best poem I've written and they are a lot more critical than anyone Ive met on this site but then my entire family still finds poo's and farting the funniest thing ever. 
I may just have a go at lowering the tone even more now!!!! 
Anyone fancy giving me a title and I'll have a stab?

There's always room for lowering the tone - something I aspire to - on occasion. 
 
It may be low brow, but as Jane says, cheeky and funny.

Well Paula - I've seen worse than this subject on this website. Your poem was funny and it did have rhyme and rhythm - and, after all, a laugh is good for everyone sometimes isn't it? Well done!
