Poem Artwork
-->”He said he’d take me in as a stray,
Let me in his back yard stay,
He even had out there a throne,
Yes, I was pretty special;
I will have one of my very own!”

Ed Matlack,
‘Turlit With A View’

Music: ‘All In The Family’

My brother is complaining once more
Now, he wants his commode enclosed
I spent the last three days, building this
Three walls will protect him from the cold

I even put in an extra roll of toilet paper
But knowing him, this won’t be enough
And, I’ve now run out of any more lumber
So I hope that he will ‘man up’ and be tough

And being the considerate brother I have always been
The cold arctic wind already here, is behind his ‘throne’
With the used dog blankets that my spouse has donated
He can easily make this three-sided outhouse, his home

All that my spouse and I will be asking my old brother in return
In exchange for living here, is that he ‘pooper scoops’ our yard
Being the considerate brother that I am, I’m giving him a shovel
Since in the winter, dog poop freezes, and it gets extremely hard

I hope that he will now appreciate, his gorgeous new room with a view
His constant whining and complaining really make our dear old Ma blue

PS: He wanted to move into my outdoor dog kennel,
But a very nice possum family quickly moved in there
After I brought the two bonded cats into the house,
And I really don’t have the heart to evict them.

©November 2014, His Loving Brother Mr. Ed

Ahhh...The throne
A place to read and meditate alone
What more can a person ask
This three sided house; it's a GAS!

Have a Happy T-Day!

But you said you were going to put on a door,
You said you were going to get it from an outhouse store,
Maybe instead you can keep that cute little house,
On those days when you act like a real louse,
MTW I am sure can only put up with you for a short time,
Before she blows her stack, throwing you out before she commits a crime...-e-

At least he'll have his backside covered! You and I know we don't want to see that… Not even in a blue moon!

PS. My partner is deathly afraid of the occasional possum we see. She calls them, "rats."
