A Little Break

Intermission gives permission For a little break To use the loo or grab a brew Or stretch, for muscles’ sake. It helps to know, when at a show, Just when that time will be So you can wait to navigate The line who need to pee. But if you stream at home and deem It time for you to pause, You take control because the role Of one-in-charge is yours.* (pronounced “yaws” by New Yawkas)

It's always an emergency / when one has to pee / and no facilities are there / except one's underwear! / But nothing worse humiliates / when number two retaliates! – Maurice
