Everyody Does It

My mama was a lady the monitor of my day. Poop was a word I seldom heard and was not allowed to say. Number one and number two, we took to outdoor two-holer, but I knew everybody did it, even mom and my sis in her stroller. Seagulls and crows are lucky. they just do it on the fly. Humans must clean the messes up when they come to us from the sky. We carry litter bags with us when taking our dogs for a stroll. We know that keeping the streets clean should be everybody's goal. Livestock owners are lucky. They just pile it on the ground where it turns into a rich compost for which eager buyers abound I wish I had known of that word when I was a young girl, because I could have told her I was making compost just like everybody does..
