Restroom Reading

Restroom Reading

 

 

 

liberal farts

a room of idle thoughts

swayed by the scent

 

conservative diapers

hold fast

excrement of change

temporarily stymied

Biden and Trump in two brilliant stanzas me thinks Jacob. I take it neither has your full support. Love the second stanza as Trump sits stoically refusing to concede!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, refusing.

and he is Refuse.

Indeed and what a relief he is gone!

Interesting to find your poem, which seems to have stinky political overtones, becuz I've been describing our dictator-who-refuses-to-abdicate as a diarrhea diaper spewing nonstop. Great minds observe similarly, perhaps (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you are too funny...thank you, Margie.
Second time this morning I have been accused of being part of "Great Minds" but I am innocent I tell you.

Historically, "change" in America always seems to be synonymous with damaging, socialistic
flights of fancy. Always impoverishes the average taxpayer; always limits individual freedom.
In any event, your poem is high-level "bathroom humor."

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Jimmy,

Of all your metaphors, this one has to be the most clever! "swayed by the scent" indeed. Laughing here. The excrement of change is not pleasant to some! Jacob, this one is unique! Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Lydi.
:))))

Loved this one! Though I didn't get the total context, yet loved it! Liberal farts! Just Fab!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you, AJNJ,

You're welcome sir. :)

Civility is long forgotten
something here is smelling rotten
diapers soaking in a pail
left a stench to make you wail
that seems to be the constant smell
those who govern do not wish us well
if it were only them we could tell
have a good day but go to Hell.

One more week of insults and cacophony.

Got any ear plugs friend.
Take care ... be safe

[jacob erin-cilberto]

exactly, Ted...love your poem....thanks.

This one brought a smile to my face recalling time 'spent' in GP's waiting rooms. ..a mixture of stinkey odours and sweet perfume! What a way to live? but it is the essence of life! Thank you for making the day brighter! Stay safe, my friend!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, kitty...

A political slant here. The references to rest room, excrement and odours, sums it up for me. I might not understand the total context of why this poem was written but the gist us fully understood. Much said in this brevity Jacob.

Chris.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Chris,

[Dave]

Strange isn't it, that ours never seems to smell that bad?

Take care - Dave

[jacob erin-cilberto]

so we imagine, don't we?
thanks, Dave,

Come on you know it's true!
Take care - Dave
