Rhubarb-Everyone Poops Contest

They wait in the streets with a bucket and spade The gardeners waiting for a horse to oblige First it is the milkman, with bottles a rattling Then the coalman with his nutty slag in a bag The horses of each carrier doesn’t look like he will Lift his tail scrunch his face and do what they want He is waiting til he reaches the door of No 10 Where she waits with a few carrots and strokes his mane Come on lovely horsey fill my bucket today The rhubarb needs a help if a pie I’m to bake Your lovely poo is good for the soil Come on lovely horsey give your tail a good shake Fill my pail I will mix it with compost, steam will rise as it seems to come to the boil. Lovely horsey, there, a few carrots for you. Thank you once again for doing a poo. Penned 9 August 2015
