Once upon a midnight dreary, while I sat there
weak and weary,
The bright white Porcelain rounded toilet bowl
I hovered o’er,
While I sat there, nearly hurling, suddenly I
felt a whirling,
As if something gently twirling, twirling at the
stomach floor;
“ ‘Tis the lobster’s tail” I muttered, “twirling at
my stomach’s floor.
Only this and nothing more.”I can feel my stomach churning, I can feel the
claw upturning,
Filling me with feelings that I’ve felt right here
before,
The cherry sweet Mylanta nor the bubbling
soda Fanta,
Prevented that unpleasant tingling present as
a sore,
“I pray that this will pass,” said I, “this quite
unpleasant sore.
I hope it’s this, and nothing more.”But with this sour evil comes the prospect of
upheaval,
I don’t like this unsaintly burden which hath
made me sore,
I have felt so dismal that the tasteless
Peptobismol
Hath reacted with the Fanta and my soul did
now outpour,
I hate to see the lobster from my mouth
outpour.
“I hope that there is nothing more!”Slowly declined my mood as I stared at
liquid food,
Circling the toilet bowl with stewy chunks
galore,
But hard as I could try I could not
identify
The rowdy lobster that hath caused a stirring
in my core,
“Curse you!” said I, to what hath caused a stirring
in my core,
“I wish you death, and nothing more.”With pride I pulled the lever, never to again
endeavor
To reunite with something that I sincerely
abhor.
With the background sound of flushing, I engaged my teeth
in brushing,
As I left the water, swirling, swirling down into
the floor.
I left the water whirling, swirling down into
the floor.
(I stepped up and hurled again, right outside the door.)
The Lobster
