Back to the Drawing Board
by Jane E Pearce The Queen troops the colours in London
riding side saddle in her seat,
looking royal and ceremonious.
(It's a shame she has to excrete)
Easter Sunday on Fifth Avenue,
New Yorkers take to the street,
elegant in their finery.
(It's a shame they have to excrete)
Inauguration day in Washington
"the swearing In" is complete,
everyone dressed in dignity.
( It's a shame they have to excrete)
Society ladies at afternoon tea,
dressed elegantly when they meet,
talking softly over the crumpets.
(It's a shame they have to excrete)
God made our bodies marvelous
from our head down to our feet,
but somehow, I feel we'd be more genteel
if we didn't have to excrete.
