REVENGE OF THE NERDS

Folder: 
CHOKE THE CHICKEN

 

I always hate

having to share a bathroom

when I take a shit

 

This rarely happens

at bars and malls

or movie theatres and trains stations

 

It usually happens at work

that I take my stall

and try to knock off

5 or 10 minutes of time

 

I think the worst one

was one time I was in a stall

and someone took another stall

 

Whoever it is

has a walkie talkie

and I hear my manager get paged

 

then I hear

my manager’s voice

answering the page

and I’m thinking

“Yeah this figures;”

 

but I stay put

trying to finish up

while waiting it out

hoping he leaves before me

 

then I hear him groaning

“Oh God!  Oh God!”

as he tries to do his business

He’s whining and moaning

thru his crapper break

 

and I’m thinking

“Oh great, I can’t even

take a shit in peace.

Work really sucks!”

 

And all I can think of

is how am I supposed

to respect the guy

after a display like this

 

It’s hard to take that

I’ll have to leave the stall

and return to work

taking orders from a guy

that can’t even shit with dignity

 

I’m sorry but it’s hard for me

to imagine a crueler slap in the face

 

God truly wanted

to fuck with my mind

on this one

I wipe my ass

and go back to work

really feeling shafted
