see this boy...
See this boy,
He flushed this toy
And I didn't have a clue.
So, I was confused
After the potty was used
And it started to back up with poo.
We called a number
And found a plumber
Who was sympathetic to our plea.
But when he was there
I wasn't prepared
For what I was going to see.
He unscrewed some bolts
And made a few jolts
And quickly removed the base.
Then he made a path
From the toilet to the bath
Poo spilling all over the place.
My mouth gaped wide
As he washed the inside
With my lovely shower-hose.
(To be quite frank,
The smell was so rank,
I had to plug my nose.)
Then, he put his hand in
And pulled out with a grin
The toy that was stuck down below.
He finished his work
I gave him a smirk
I paid him and off he did go.
Now, while I was relieved
The toy was retrieved
And my toilet would once again flush.
I was really upset
And I started to fret
Him leaving me all of that mush.
And the mess, I confess
It caused me such stress
To see my loo looking that way.
See, from wall to wall
The poo it did sprawl
My bathroom was in disarray.
So, I pulled out my spray,
And began cleaning away,
Until the wee hours of the morn.
Then I crawled into bed
Because I was dead.
My body was thoroughly worn.
So, if this boy
Flushes one more toy
You know what I'm going to do?
Pack his bag that night,
Put him on the next flight
And send him to come live with you.
And I didn't have a clue.

GROSS!!!
So sorry that happened. It's a cool poem tho.
And just think, now you'll have blackmail on Wesley for the rest of his life!
(you better do what your mother says, or we'll tell all your friends the buzz/poo story!)
Lol. I'm really sorry that you had to do that all cleaning. But it does make for a nice story (and poem!)
Ammon flushed a raquetball down our (only) toilet when we owned a home in Salt Lake City. It never came up, and gave us trouble the whole time we lived there.
I think next time, Ammon needs to clean up the mess.
Dad B.
yes, it is true...we had many plumbers come (each time the "problem" resurfaced) and they never could find and remove the boomerang-ball! Also, Ammon needs to tell you about FLOODING the basement in the same house...all before he turned 3! Love, Mom B
SICK.
very clever way to tell us about it though....any other way and i would've wanted to puke, but with this nice writing i wanted to read it over and over again! i'm so sorry you had to clean it up!
dave did that when he was a kid but the toy couldn't be retrieved. his dad took a sledgehammer to it (after the new one was installed) to see what was stuck and dave goes, "oh, there's my dinosaur" and grabs it and walks off. KIDS!
Oh Man!!!!
Well, I bet that bathroom has never been cleaner...
I hope you didn't kill too many brain cells on the cleanup.
:)
The poem is soooo good!
What a perfect way to share a poo story...
:)
Just when I thought I had experienced every gross thing as a Mother... I now have something to look forward to!
I'm surprised actually, that this hasn't happened to me yet.
"Keep the bathroom doors closed" is a Kennington Commandment!
lynette, i was laughing hysterically two stanzas in! love your use of poo and limerick!
I guess now we know what Buzz meant by "beyond" when he said: "to infinity... and BEYOND!"
Yuck!!! My boys did the same thing, but with a red power ranger! Yuck Yuck Yuck! Lynette, you have suck talent as a writer. You should write a kids book. I like the poem. Very good.:)
What is wrong with me? Anything dealing with poo makes me laugh. I think I have fecal-phyllia.
GREAT poem- I laughed and giggled the whole way through.
Sorry about the poo.
What a great poem and fun way to share this incredibly yucky situation. I am glad you got things back to normal and hopefully you had a good night's sleep!
i hope the youngblood family meant "such" and not "suck". that made me laugh out loud!
very creative Lynette! You have a talent for making stories fun and readable! Hope your bathroom is back to normal for a long time to come!
I love the poem, Lynette! Carrie, you aren't the only one that always laughs at poo! My family think's I'm crazy for it.
You should have recited your poem when you told us the story yesterday... then we could have talked about good poems instead over all the poo stories;)
HILARIOUS poem Lynette...sorry about the clean up though! I must say this poem makes me grateful that we don't have any little ones to flush things down the toliet yet. I hope Ammon treats you to a nice dinner or something as a reward for doing all that cleaning!
EWWWWWWW!
But I loved reading your story. The only way reading it was bearable. Ha ha!
One time I flushed a huge bar of soap down the toilet and my parents made me pour buckets of hot water down the toilet for hours.
Sounds very familiar to when you lived with us and Carly was having a tea party with Gracie in the toilet and next thing we knew-the plummer was pulling out a tea cup! Oh-well-we now know where you kids get it from-Ammon!!! Sorry about the poo!
You are so talented! I read your blog all the time (I've been one of the invisible ones).
Your life entertains me on a regular basis.
By the way, can you tell me where you find all of your clever graphics? I just started my own blog and would like to decorate it a bit.
Lynette -- I love reading your blog. You are so talented with your writing. So sorry to hear about the mess. I hope this never happens to me.
Okay - you just turned something disgusting into something so cute all I can do is laugh. Your awesome Lynette!
