The Toilet

At times my words feel like turds In a forever flushing toilet of life Some days after releasing them My mind still doesn't feel right Butt wiped onto paper they go Then typed into this toilet of life As they spin around the bowl I notice something doesn't smell right It must be time to clean This forever flushing Toilet of life Allowing me Words of Freshness And new turds To flow with delight

that is very funny Dan I would never expect the images of swirly words from your writes... Lol.. Now I have this image on my mind.. Like a mesmerized umbrella going round and round... But this would be a swirl of words.... all I have to say is my turds smell like roses... And I fart out delightful words ...okay.. Evil roses...enjoyed,.p.d

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I thought I was the only one who wrote about the crapper. I wouldn't Shi--Poop you man, you're my favorite turd! (PG rated version of a saying I frequently use) REGULAR-ly I mean, Regularity is the key! GREAT POEM. 7 rate and my favorite!

Even the shape looks like a toilet and one could say that the "turd" part could have some delight - it certainly is hilarious!

It is supposed to be a toilet.. Sillyness I guess.
