Sid suffers from bad constipation
This causes his wife aggravation
You should eat some bran 
Exclaims his wife Fran
This requires his co-operation

But stubborn Sid won’t copy Fran
Who adores eating healthy wheat bran
And he won’t eat veg
Like their grandson Reg
So Sidney spends hours on the can

And rightly so! I love bran and use it in many baked good as well as raw with milk and fruit. You won't catch me groaning on the can! / Maurice

Perhaps Sidney needs a new pair of kidneys! lol. Or maybe if we nicknamed him 'Tiger,' he'd eat some fiber. ~ Just sayin,' gw

Perhaps he wants to emulate Elvis, Jan. Fun poem bloated with dietary advice. Terry

Living so near Eire, I am surprised he is not aware of Murphy's Law: Go for a walk, and when you are the furthest from a toilet, you will have a dire need to use one! Enjoyed, Jan! Aloha!

I agree with Joe and Belle. He's a very silly man. Hey, he could save himself a lot of time if he would drink a glass of metamucil each morning. It tastes like orange juice and gets the job done!

Silly man. Some problems are easily solved, yet many choose to continue grunting and groaning though everything when so unnecessary. Great limerick, Jan.
