THE FATE OF AN OSTOMATE.
The fate of one new ostomate
who couldn’t wait to irrigate
could be a helpful learning tool
for any future hopeful fool.
What started as a defecation
ended up in devastation.
When starting to eliminate
he found it indiscriminate.
When sound came from his stomach-ache.
he found there was no stoma brake.
Hot poo-like stuff from stoma shot
and sure enough he got the lot.
He didn’t quite know what to do
to guide the flow from all that poo.
He was in it, head to toe
so didn’t know which way to go.
What with the stink and all the brown
his normal instincts let him down.
This plight for him was not much fun
for he could neither fight nor run.
He smelt the splat that he had shat
and felt a prat in all of that.
You bet this man was a victim
and yet it did not get to him.
After he cleaned up the mess
he seemed to see it as a test.
He thought he ought to contemplate
his fate to be an ostomate.
He’s not put off nor is he scared
as next time he is more prepared.
Of course he’s got a lot of hope
because he knows that he can cope.
