When I consider how my **** is flushed,
Ere half my days on this sad seat and wide,
And that foul stench that smells like something died
Filled me with disgust, and high ideals crushed
To wipe therewith my *******, and present
My true account, lest bathroom-users chide;
“Doth God review the toilet-paper side?”
I grimly ask. The vent-fan, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies, “God doth not need
Either tissue or a new roll. Who best
Clean their smeared ***, their slate is clean. To think
Is one thing, nature’s urgent call to heed
Is quite another; Milton said it best:
They also serve who only sit and stink.”

take a favorite (or unfavorite) poem of the past, and see if you can’t re-write it on humorous, mocking, or sharp-witted lines.
