MUCUS INCONTINENCE.
I’ve written several rhymes before
on mucus, which I get galore
and which can drag me down a bit
even though it isn’t shit.
I think that I should clarify,
severe incontinence was why
I opted for a stoma, so
anal incontinence might go.
Nobody warned me mucus might
replace the shit that wasn’t right,
so now I tend my stoma and
the mucus gets the upper hand.
I’ve tried those anal plugs again
but they don’t work and it’s a pain
because the mucus just slides past
sometimes slow, but mostly fast.
Inco pads had helped a lot
with all that shitty inco-grot
but mucus is a different tale
and this is where the pads will fail.
My mucus is a mess of slime
which won’t absorb most of the time
so inco pads don’t stem the tide
and will not keep this stuff inside.
Folded tissues can do the trick
to help the slimy mucus stick
but rapidly, they will become
overwhelmed while up my bum.
Sometimes I find it hard to see
how so much mucus could now be
coming from my defunct arse
and causing what must be a farce.
It’s good to talk to those out there
who know these problems we may share.
