Poop- There It Is

No pushing or breaking of water
It was a c-section that brought her
But this is about
What wouldn’t come out
A poop just as big as my daughter!

Perhaps it was pain medication
To clog up and cause constipation
Nurse said I must show
They won’t let me go
Till poop- there it is- defecation!

Determined, I pulled an all-nighter.
That turd was a hell of a fighter.
And then with my tush,
Turns out I did push!
And poof! I was seven pounds lighter!

Right, so, I'm a bloke, so of course I've never given birth - to a human. I have however had some pretty desperate lavatorial battles with what I thought was solid rock, so on that level I can relate! Excellent humour and razor-sharp observation. Great poem!

So, in effect… you had twins. Always the same… one helps around the house and does well at school… the other just sits around stinking up the place. A smashing write, Jessica. Congrats on you win. Terry
