The three-handed shyte.....
Now there's a to-do.....
It's a skill to learn.....
Dealing with poo.....
One on the bag.....
One to steady.....
Then you need one to get the paper ready.....
At the start, you fiddle and fumble.....
Doing your best not to stumble.....
Stains on the roll.....
The wall and the floor.....
I've even had them on the door.....
Quieter now are my screams of panic.....
Visiting the pan doesn't make me manic.....
Once you master this skillful art.....
You and your waste will easily part.....

Hi Blueonthetyne, I hope you are well. I am a little worried as I replied to your last message on 6th July and just hope everything is okay with you. Take care and look after yourself.

Ahh bababoo, I'm sorry I've been busy and I don't come on here too often lately. I'm going to blame it on being so well and feeling the need to, but I know it's always there when days are tough. Did you like my poem? I'll do another soon. Just on the early bus to another day in paradise, or Gateshead as they call it. I did send you a message via the message service on here, but I don't think you're a full member, so maybe that's why you did not receive it. Went for a routine visit to Freeman this week and all seems well; they don't want to see me for 6 months. I can't believe how quickly this has all gone on and how well I am now compared to last year. Hope you and yours are all fine.

So good to hear that you are okay, and yes, I did like your poem... can't wait for the next one. I really only come on here when I receive the latest posts, but like you, I know it's here if I need it. That is brilliant news from the Freeman; keep up the good work, and before you know it, you will only be going once a year. Well, keep on enjoying paradise and best wishes to you and your family.

A very good afternoon to you, Bababoo. I've tried sending you a private message again. People have told me you should get it as I'm a full member. Check your inbox at the top. Hope you are well and enjoying this unexpected Northeast summer. Are you going away on holiday anywhere?
