DEFECATION SEMANTICS
© - Tom Hyland - 3/25/11
Why is it that Some Words are ‘Vulgar’ -
While others are ‘Cute’?
Does the Connotation -
Require an Explanation?
Or - is Definition Dependent Upon -
Size or Condition?
Can the Resultant Observation -
Vary by Its Application?
For Some Odd Reason -
The First Title Word
Did Not Appear in my ‘Word’ Thesaurus -
Yet, the Verb Form ‘Defecate’ Did!
Let’s ‘Break it Down’ - Okay?
De-Fecate ... to Expel Feces!
That’s a ‘Number Two’ -
To The Human Species!
Now, One Must Apply -
Some Humor, or Some Wit -
To Avoid the Vulgate -
‘To Take A Shit’!
If What’s ‘Left Behind’ -
Came from a Cute Little Bunny -
It’s Merely a ‘Bunny Turd’
So, That’s a ‘Cute’ Word!
If the ‘Leavings’ are from a Doe -
Or Deer, Way Out in the Forest -
We call Them ‘Tracks’ -
While Vultures Might Regard Them as ‘Yummy Snacks’!
OMG - Is This Guy Nuts?
Or - Does he Simply ‘Have Guts’?
Is it Totally Un-Romantic -
To Be Overly Pedantic?
Should the ‘Droppings’ Be -
From a Much Larger Mammal -
Say a ‘Dump’ from an Elephant -
Is It more Gross? Must I Recant?
If On a Caravan, Out in the Desert -
Campfire Songs are Sung -
You’ll Enjoy the Aroma Of -
Roasting Camel ‘Dung’!
Should you Find on your Pantry Shelf -
‘Trails’ left by little Meeses -
You call them ‘Mouse-Turds’ -
Not ‘Meeses’ Pieces’!
Yet - Even Smaller ‘Tracks’ -
Cause you to be Taken Aback -
UGH! ‘Roach Shit’!
A Disgusting Attack!
Although the Size May Be -
Quite Diminutive -
Much Money to an ‘Exterminator’
You WILL Give!
While Out on a Ranch -
Or - Along a Trail -
A ‘Pile’ of ‘Horse-Turds’
May be Seen ... Isn’t That Just ‘Keen’?
Should It Be a Steer or a Cow -
Out in a Meadow -
We call Them ‘Meadow Muffins’ -
Notice How Your Intolerance ‘Toughens’?
“Horse-Shit - It Makes The Grass Grow Green”
So - Then we call It ‘Fertilizer’ -
Now That I’ve Explained -
Don’t You Feel - So Much ‘Wiser’?

What that old Jersey Ed left behind,
I suggest you run like a bat out of hell,
That aroma, will quickly make you blind!
PS: That's why I ran away from home at such a young age.
PPS: I actually like the smell of Meadow Muffins.
PPPS: And on a cold winter's night,
If you ever run out of firewood,
Try some Mighty Moose Turds,
They do burn, real good!!
