Poetry Corner: Whoopee Cushion Memories

I've been giggling lately over many memories of the potty humor variety. So, I thought I would share the fun times with a potty humor poem I wrote about one particular memory. 

I'm simply enjoying the chuckle and I hope you have fun with the comedic relief as well. 

Whoopee Cushion Memories

sling shots ‘n bubble gum,

silly putty ‘n water guns,

too many moments to convey

my youth -
but of them all,

my favorite can only be experienced...

deep breath and exhale directed,

captured –

shh…

                 placement

                     is

                                       everything.

creeping up on normalcy

looking

as innocent as can be.

making the drop

isn’t

simple

for it

cannot

be seen.

‘neath cushions ‘n pillows

or simply dropped into seat,

slipped under a descending rump

or blatantly squeezed.

placing a whoopee cushion

is about

the element of surprise

and can only be rated

by the sound of your audience,

your poor victims cries.
