Let's Talk About Poop


As that lovely children's book reminds us, "Everybody Poops!" But is that it? Enough said?!?!?! Well here at the 47th street house, we don't think so. That's why we have a poop diary in the downstairs bathroom.

Poop is a big topic around here, what with our new composting toilets and the composting of various other animal poops for our garden (yes, even the chickie poop gets used).  But we don't just deal with poop, we love poop. We are inspired by poop. We love to talk about it, and rightly so! 

So without further ado, here are some of my favorite entries in the poop diary (in no particular order):



"Perched atop
I heard a spectacular plop
Followed by tinkling drops"




"May your sphincter be strong,
To hold fast the throngs
Of zealous turds trying to
Soil your sarong!"



"All are sleeping still
I poop now in silence
Dawn is for doody"



"Turds slide out of me
Like an orca swallows fish
Slip'ry ecstasy"



"Reminders of yesterday
Linger in the air, like
Memories relived.
The smell of a poop is bittersweet"



Hope you enjoy! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go make another entry.

Happy Pooping!
