Sewage Breath’s Birthday Wish, from THE WOMAN WHO COULD EAT WOOD

Sewage Breath’s Birthday Wish


On his 21st birthday,
Sewage Breath made a wish.
And to his great shock it came true in the depths of the sewers that smelt like  and piss and fish.
In there he bumped into an abandoned Sewage Woman named Trish. 

In love they fell. They really did. 
Enjoyed each other’s ugly, worrying, strong sewage breaths they did.
One year late they wed
and had a kid.

The kid they loved.
They named him Tad.
He’d worse sewage breath
than they had.
