AT HOME WITH THE HAMLETS(for me auld pal Al) <br /> <br />To pee or not to pee <br />that is...the vexation. <br /> <br />Whether anything could be horribler <br />than this tiny trickle of pee <br /> <br />in the wee wee <br />hours of the night. <br /> <br />'It delights <br />not me! ' <br /> <br />he mumbles sleepily. <br /> <br />Each dropp of urine <br />wrung from him <br /> <br />like blood <br />from a stone. <br /> <br />God damn <br />this prostate! <br /> <br />Ophelia <br />overwrought <br />being overweight <br /> <br />turns and takes <br />all the bedclothes <br /> <br />to her side <br />of the bed <br /> <br />leaving Ham <br />in the cold. <br /> <br />She farts gently <br />smiles softly to her self. <br /> <br />The rest <br />is silence.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/at-home-with-the-hamlets-for-me-auld-pal-al/
