MANAGING MUCUS.
When problems cannot be resolved
and puzzles tend to be unsolved,
the problems may keep coming back
to form a more sustained attack.
Then, every time I try and fail,
it all becomes a sorry tale
where failures will accumulate
and leave me in an awful state.
I like to think most problems can
be resolved by modern man
with guile and ingenuity
to counter ambiguity.
But that’s not so with mucus, where
it seems there’s nothing can compare
to the nuisance that it brings
as to my arse and legs, it clings.
It gives no warning when it slides
from the weakened anus sides
and is not stopped by inco-pad
which tends to make it seem more bad.
There are few things so disgusting
as when incontinence padding
cannot hold on to this slime
because it can’t absorb in time.
There’s little doubt I’ve had enough
of this grimy, slimy stuff
that plagues my life persistently
and frustrates me consistently.
I even tried some tampons, but
they made me bleed around my butt,
which only made the whole thing worse
and prompted me to write this verse.
I’d like to find a solution
to this mucus pollution.
