Squeezing the Tree

Squeezing the Tree

I am Squeezing the tree

and so it shall always be

Don’t ask, don’t doubt,

don’t think, don’t shout

for nothing is stopping me.

Sir Tree by title

Squeezing by name.

You may find it silly

you may find it lame.

Think what you like

it’ll never cause pain.

Don’t worry about me

I’ll always be sane

Why such a name,

why such a mask?

Is it from some game?

I hear you ask.

It’s from no game

I‘m no nature lover

It’s wasn’t given by mother

Or is an identity cover

It’s my name by choice

presenting a voice

That no matter my call

I will always stand tall

Let it not make me fall

For I don’t care at all

Because I don’t care

It makes you aware

That I am me

And me is fair

I won’t change me

That’ll bring me despair

You should know

I’m who who does not care

Whoever you are

Whatever you choose

The speed of your car

Or the size of your shoes

Shows that you are you

About that there’s nothing to do

Let that always be

It makes you true

Now you should see

That I’m happy and free

Take it from me

I’m Squeezing the tree

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
