POTTY TRAINING

Someone left the window open in the nursery I slowly crept out of it because I had to pee I wandered taking baby steps until I found a tree T’was then I had the feeling something was watching me It must be close for I could see its ragged broken track I trembled as I thought of its claws upon my back Thus, did I scurry through the brush, yet it followed me I hadn’t planned a morning chase, just a trip outside to pee I froze in place and got the scent, a fearful blast of air For I was stuck in a bramble bush, with no way out of there I heard it hiss and felt its breath, it dropped like a TKO’d fighter It’d placed its nose, quite cold and damp, too close to my diaper I made it home without event dragging my rescue scent The monster of the bush left too, I’m not sure which way hewent

a delightfully eerie poem, John. Loved the monster of the bush....and the line 'too close to my diaper.' Witty you are.
