Flush the Toilet
Shawn Thornburg
In your hurry to find some right-away
Relief from the pulsing pressure inside
(That is why you're aiming your wasteful spray
At the porcelain bowl's mouth gaping wide,
And why you've opened the biting, toothy
Door of your pant so as not to soil it--
Check that to prevent your humility),
Please take the time out to
FLUSH THE TOILET!
