Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Toilet Trouble

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

Valsa George November 19, 2021 at 6:15 PM Ha.... ha ! This is indeed so funny....!! The picture reflects all his strain for not following a healthy dietary pattern...!

Maurice Rigoler November 18, 2021 at 8:15 PM 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

Jack Horne November 14, 2021 at 7:23 AM LOL, loved this & had a chuckle at the pic too. I hope you are feeling better now, my friend xx

Caren Krutsinger November 11, 2021 at 12:00 PM Oooh no! Ugh! I am having sympathy pains now and they are not making me happy.

Gershon Wolf November 10, 2021 at 3:09 PM Perhaps Sidney needs a new pair of kidneys! lol. Or maybe if we nicknamed him 'Tiger,' he'd eat some fiber. ~ Just sayin,' gw

Lindsay Laurie November 6, 2021 at 4:11 PM Hello Jan ... a good dose of epsom salts will have Syd suffering from 'constipation reversa' Jan - Lindsay

Terry Flood November 5, 2021 at 3:27 PM Perhaps he wants to emulate Elvis, Jan. Fun poem bloated with dietary advice. Terry

Rico Leffanta November 5, 2021 at 11:41 AM 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!

Paula Goldsmith November 5, 2021 at 11:32 AM Your "TOILET TROUBLE" is a fun/cute~~story/write. He needs to listen to Fran. Have a blessed/fun day................

Lisa Ricci November 5, 2021 at 6:45 AM Well now Jan - Your entry and format did not disappoint with the fun and play. You wrote in the true spirit of it all. Truly. Have a wonderful day. Keep enjoying poetry poetrysoup and the limerick format. PS - blessings to both Sid and Fran. (smile)

Deb M November 5, 2021 at 2:26 AM Queen of Poop Tales strikes again! Really funny Jan! Debx

L Milton Hankins November 4, 2021 at 8:08 PM 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!

Joseph P. DiMino November 4, 2021 at 7:03 PM Silly man. Some problems are easily solved, yet many choose to continue grunting and groaning though everything when so unnecessary. Great limerick, Jan.

Beryl Edmonds November 4, 2021 at 3:52 PM Silly man, there’s more to life than being sat on the can. Hilarious Jan. Hugs Belle :-) xx Jan Allison November 4, 2021 at 4:32 PM Thanks Belle when i saw the pic I had to use it lol:-) hugs jan xx
