Morning Emergency

Morning Emergency

The siren didn’t sound;
There was no alarm,
But an emergency there was,
And it had caused some harm.
The pull-up was pulled down 
Removed and even thrown.
Danger! Danger!
Poo poo bomb!
Detonated in the home.

Sister soundly sleeping,
Didn’t even flinch,
As poo poo air goes wafting.
Oh, my! What a stench!

Poo poo in the bed.
Poo poo on the floor.
Poo poo on the wall.
Poo poo by the door.

Baby laughs and dances,
Fanny brownly bare.
She doesn’t seem to smell it,
Poo poo in the air.

“I’m up,” she yells
With delight,
“Mama come and see.
Hurry up and get me,
I think I have to pee.”
