staggershit

 Sometimes when I stagger out to shit,

In the middle of the night,

I hear a robin singing,

And I wonder if it is trying

To sweeten the darkness.

Sometimes when I stagger out to shit

In the middle of the night,

I hear a randy dog fox

Barking sharply.

I wonder if this sounds romantic to a vixen.

Sometimes when I stagger out to shit

In the middle of the night,

I hear a police helicopter's blades slicing the air ,

As it circles searching,

To mount surveillance

On us villeins below.

Sometimes when I stagger out to shit

In the middle of the night,

I hear nothing.

So I sit and shit quietly

In suburbia.
