Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Potty Field

On a high school track there has been found
Some human feces on the ground
And more than once had Nature called;
A camera therefore was installed.

Was it a prank or would it show
A jogger who just had to go?
The fact that it was left to find 
Implied there was an axe to grind.

Today the perp at last was caught
And everybody was distraught.
It was no kid who had a grudge 
But the district head who they must judge.

His reasons haven't been revealed
For leaving poo out on that field,
But I would guess as of today
That he has flushed his job away.

Gershon Wolf May 11, 2018 at 1:41 AM LOL! Hope his feces were flushed twice; it's a long way to the (school's) kitchen, as we used to say back in the day. ~ gw

Maurice Rigoler May 7, 2018 at 3:59 PM Hahaha! Sounds like something I would write, Ilene! I wonder how they discovered it was his poo? A great write. / M Ilene Bauer May 9, 2018 at 4:36 PM he was actually caught on camera, maurice! it was too good a story to not write about...

Andrea Dietrich May 5, 2018 at 8:13 PM PLEASE do a book, all your verse is so relevent to today's history in the making. you could do a chapter per the last several decades!!

Andrea Dietrich May 5, 2018 at 8:12 PM OMG, it is true? That it's a district head? That is too funny, Irene!! Maybe he was tired of the sports guys getting all the money. This title was enough to capture my interest, and you delivered.

Leo Larry Amadore May 4, 2018 at 8:49 PM As tempted as I am to make some sort of flip comment about the subject of your poem and the guilty party caught on camera, I will refrain and only compliment you on your deft handling of your report of the incident(s).....your usual competent and engaging verse has made even this a joy to read.

Jan Allison May 4, 2018 at 3:47 PM yeuk Ilene, animal poop is vile but human poop is even more disgusting and its brilliant the per-poo- traitor got caught. It would be interesting to learn the reason why they did it:-) hugs Jan xx
