Aunt Maise Searches For Toilet

Aunt Maise was a decorator, not well known, but fine.
Her attitude was catchy, her enthusiasm crossed a line.
I loved being around her, and remember spending a day
Where we ran from store to store, looking for a toilet for play.

She had designed a bathroom in orange, not tan or black or gray.
She wanted to include a tangerine toilet, a splash of happy play.
We found one but it was not “the utmost most gorgeous or sublime”.
She kept going until she had procured ones in tangerine and lime.

Caren, I’m a bit annoyed at home, so I came by your page to read your poems. They made me smile and happy :) I didn’t comment in all of them but I read quite a lot of them. I enjoyed yours very much. And like I said, they got me smiling and forgetting I was annoyed before. Lol. Thank you, Caren :)
