A Scatological Poem: Snake In My Toilet

[[ subtitle:
One does not always chose where
a poem's inspiration is found. ]]

Morning: Time to start my day; first
I wander to the bathroom if no one
......gets in my way.

A short while later:
Raising myself a bit and peeking to
see what I will see, I find a large
snake....looking back at me. But it
has no eyes nor mouth, much to my
surprise.

I sit back down, gather some tissues
and fold them into a wiping pad.
The snake's still there as I stand up;
it's looking oh so snaky-sad.

I search my brain for an explanation
of where the reptilian has come from.
But I really, at first, can't figure it out,
and it makes me feel REALLY dumb.

At least it's only a foot long snake, &
not a sleek long-maned white stallion.
OH! ! Suddenly I think I understand:
Yesterday I had ice cream, a gallon.
