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

Probably just a rattlesnake. An interesting poem.
