Shick: Sonnet #2
Sonnet #2
Carly Shick
Of knowledge known, one cannot be more true!
Now sit on white pot round and cold below.
To feel the liberation from one's poo,
Excreting things can be a great big show.
Can be how prairie dogs are often like
Slide in and out of holes in grassy field .
A musty scent arises from their strife
But here we've learned they never like to yield.
How tiresome little brown clods make the time.
To sit and push as sweat begins to form
be-rid this ugly dirty piece of grime.
Once done the body aches of new reform!
The flush is conq'ring as the battle ceased,
Until the time when next one more's unleashed
