Number 1

I got the idea for my first poem I have posted on this blog from a friend at college who constantly uses the phrases number 1 for when you take a piss and number 2 for what you have a poop. It's a likeable and strange habit and I decided to write a poem about it, as sometimes we would joke around how when somebody is taking a long shit, she or he would be doing a number 10 or something.

Enjoy.

Number 1

Number 1

Is easy and quick

Number 2

Is harder and thick

Number 3

When your belly mumbles

Number 4

When your belly rumbles

Number 5

You can still run a mile

Number 6

You can’t hold for a while

Number 7

You notice through your nose

Number 8

Burns through your clothes

Number 9

Can Paralyze 

Number 10

Damages your eyes

Number 11

Defies Gravity

Number 12

Makes a huge cavity

Number 13

All life loses worth

Number 14

Kills the Earth

Don’t forget to flush
