L Milton Hankins Poet Couplet

Incident In An Iowa Cornfield

Before it is posted on Facebook and everyone knows
I peed in an Iowa cornfield at the beginning of some rows.

It was an absolute necessity under direst of circumstance
My brother took the picture showing my unique little dance.

And, no, I don’t make a habit of that sort of unseemly activity
But when “you gotta go, you gotta go,” a traveling man’s proclivity.

So, when you see my backside with front facing those rows of corn
Be very thankful I was clothed, not posed like the day I was born!

And since the photograph does not show my face full frontal
I can always deny the whole incident with a thorough disgruntle.

Rico Leffanta August 24, 2021 at 12:06 PM Next time travel with a woman who can assist you in properly watering the corn . . . . Rico Leffanta August 26, 2021 at 11:19 AM I know lots of women who could do that with style . . . ., but perhaps the women you know only do snow angels? L Milton Hankins August 24, 2021 at 12:15 PM Oh my, Rico. I don't know any women who could do that with decorum.

John Lawless August 24, 2021 at 6:13 AM I can just see the horror on the faces of the scarecrows..... L Milton Hankins August 24, 2021 at 8:26 AM Yes, they were quite upset. BUT, I was a bit afraid they might make a dive for my junk! Thanks for your funny comment, John.
