I suppose it was inevitable. Not sure of the name of the kid who asked for this! Edit: It was Leon. Thanks for the idea, Leon!
But hey, they get a sonnet.
Why is it funny, when it shouldn’t be?
It’s just the way that we get rid of stuff
Our bodies do not need, and yet, when we
Remember that we do it, it’s enough
To get us laughing. Think! There’s never been
Someone who’s never ever had a poo!
Your teachers! Ant and Dec! Your mum! The Queen!
We all act like it’s something we don’t do.
If someone scary bothers you one day
And you are feeling nervous, simply think
“I bet a poo came out of you today
And you cannot pretend it didn’t stink!”
And then you’ll see, we’re ALL ridiculous.
Yes, poo is funny: that’s what makes us…us!
