I can handle the problems of teething - <br />Put up with a tantrum or two <br />But when every mum's nightmare becomes reality, <br />What, my God, what do I do? <br />I've plucked him from the path of a tractor <br />I've saved my best china from falling <br />But no amount of sixth sense has prepared me <br />For what happens when nature comes calling. <br />I'm used to embarrassing moments, <br />They come part and parcel with Ben <br />But nothing compares to last Tuesday - <br />I daren't show my face there again. <br />I can still see those old ladies fainting; <br />I swear one old dear had to throw up - <br />Now everyone in town will be talking <br />Of the day Benny pooed in the Co-op.<br /><br />jane solanrobertson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-day-i-went-shopping-and-got-more-than-i-bargained-for/
