No Go

For all his meals Ralph Redd ate soup
to keep him from between-meals droop.
It seemed to be OK
but then there came a day
when Ralph was unable to poop.

So happy to see Jan down there in her box - you went where she goes frequently (hey, that reads like bathroom humor) and you did a very good, humorous job of it ... CayCay

"Bathroom humor" constitutes a fraction of a fraction of Jan's poetic repertoire. She is incredibly versatile. Thank you, though, for the compliment. I appreciate it.

Thank you, Reta. I value your kind comment. Do you suppose a laugh a day keeps constipation away?

Downright shameful of us isn't it, Jan? But "poop" is entirely acceptable, both as a noun and a verb (as you already know). Besides, if you use it, it is certain to be OK. Thanks for your comment; you are always sweetly supportive. hugs xxx Paul
