"Ode to Joey"

This topic is about a delightful and light-hearted poem that draws a fun comparison between an ostomy pouch and a kangaroo's pouch. The poem brings a smile by highlighting the similarities between the two in a playful way. Here are some of the charming points made in the poem:

- Just like a kangaroo's joey, the stoma output finds its home in a pouch.
- Both the joey and the stoma output are nourished from within their respective pouches.
- They can both be a bit fussy and noisy, sometimes needing attention when you're out and about.
- The way a joey peeks out and then retreats is similar to how stoma output can appear and disappear.
- Both pouches require regular "diaper" or appliance changes to keep everything in order.

People in the forum responded warmly to the poem, expressing their enjoyment and interest in seeing more creative and stoma-related poetry.
