Second Bathroom
Another true tom tale
Many years ago,
1971 or 72,
We had only one bathroom
Normally that would do
I had to pee real bad,
The bathroom occupied
Another tom brainstorm
Why not use outside?
But I was young and stupid
Lazy as all hell,
Now I'm the older version,
Of yet a stupider tom bell
So opened the back door
Only 4 houses on our block
No one ever likely
To see my eager "bladder clock"
Soon on I had a stream going
When I finally raised my head
To spot a vision
That filled me full of dread
Our next door neighbor's wife
On lawn chair and with book
Seemed to be fixated watching me
And the bizarre action that I took
I guess she thought "Oh Pervert!"
Would never would I question why
All I know is
That that moment I could die
Did not leave the house for a week
Feeling stupid, and mighty meek
So if you gotta' go real bad
And can't wait no more
Do it in your pants
And not out your back door.
