“A Bathroom Problem: Oopsie”

A Bathroom Problem: Oopsie

I was having fun with my hula hoop,

with only one problem… I forgot to poop!

The bathrooms were open; the toilet worked fine.

But suddenly I had to rush fast this time.

The Hershey squirts were coming in hot,

My hula hoop fun would have to stop.

Pooping comes first there’s no time to play.

After sprinting there, I needed a drink right away.

My poop came out with such wild ease,

I had to plug my nose so I wouldn’t sneeze.

I reached for the toilet paper to wipe my rear…

But there was no holder. My biggest fear.

Now what do I do with poop on my butt?

I can’t pull my pants up or leave this bathroom hut.

Do I sit and wait for the serviceman to appear?

Or pull up my pants and pretend nothing’s there?

What a choice to make, neither one feels right.

My underwear after a while will stick to me, tight.

Oh, what a day! I’ll get on my smelly way.

I guess hula hooping will have to wait another day.

As, these poopy, pants are making me smell bad.

Don’t laugh. Missing toilet paper just made me mad.

I was looking forward to hula hooping today.

This will now teach me to go poop before I go play.
