Janice Canerdy Poet Rhyme

Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be

“Oh Dear, what can the matter be?”
Gramps screamed while on his fourth mad dash.
The bathroom seemed a mile away!
Was it the stew or corned beef hash?

He never takes the time to read
ingredients and warnings on 
the packages of treats. He MUST	
or it will surely never dawn

on him those tasty sugar-free
desserts can have a laxative 
effect on some. Apparently,
he’s one of them. He’s doomed to live

with bowels that flow frequently
unless he wises up. He’ll spend
a fortune on air fresheners,
soft bathroom tissue, and Depends!
