From the desk of Easton:

One day I woke

and all had changed

my diapers were thrown out

we were now estranged.

———

I was sat upon

a plastic throne

and told that this

was the new drop zone.

 

My domestic freedom

was taken from me

no longer could I poop

or pee as I pleased.

———

But just when I thought

that all had been lost

alas!-big kid underwear-

I would keep them dry at all costs!

No running faucets,

sprinklers, gallons of milk

or long car rides

would break my focus

and make me lose my stride.

———

Wherever we went

that plastic throne would appear

who’d have thought

it would always be so near?

 

It was dependable

this much was true

I just wish other things were-

like my morning poo.

———

I have made it into

the big kids club

I pee in the toilet

not in the tub.

———

Mom and Dad are so proud

I’m happier too

I’ve learned how great it is

not sitting in your poo!
