MAKIN’ POOPIES
by David Lefkowitz
Another seat, another bowl Another log comes out my hole It’s really pleasin’ when I’m a-squeezin’ And makin’ poopies.
I pull my shorts below my rump I read the sports and take a dump It’s brown and shiny straight from the hiney That’s makin’ poopies.
Sometimes I sit for ages waiting so patiently. Though my intestine rages, nuggets are all I see.
I eat some bran and have some juice Run to the can and shake it loose I wipe my tushie when it gets mooshy From makin’ poopies.
My little rectum, it does the job Be it a hot dog or just a blob It’s such a passion to feel the splashin’ Of makin’ poopies.
I grit my teeth and hug my gut while underneath I hear a “splut” It always happens with all my crappin’s I’m makin’ poopies.
One day my gut got swollen, I chalked it up to gas. But when I touched my colon, Blood shot out of my ass.
Now I feel woe, and it’s a drag `cause when I go, it’s in a bag I miss the odors of all the floaters When making poopies.
So listen here, I recommend That once a year, check your rear end. Just find a docto’ to do a procto He’ll stick a finga up your gazinga You’ll scream and yelp, but it may help in makin’ poopies.
