If I ever had a rectum, the doc he would inspect 'em
On a regular basis to make sure there's no strife.

But if my arsehole failed me and illness it did ail me
Then a bag upon my belly would suffice.

My front bum I would carry, at play or when I tarry
In whatever work I choose to carry out

I will name the little blighter to make its burden lighter
And we will be companions when we do go out

But the upside of this canter is my merry witty banter
Could be lost on those that really have no clue

And those folks that just don't get it can be gone, I won't regret it
I will wish them all a very fond adieu

So my fillings are now runny and my days are full and sunny
And a bag change here and there won't hurt
The best news ever given is a blessing sent from heaven
I don't ever have to use a public dunny!

P.S. For those from foreign land, a dunny is a toilet

Gus, I share your attitude.  I can't get over why I feel happier than before my surgery.  But somehow I feel I am a stronger person and I love life more.
