He Should Be Very Thankful

Poem Artwork
-->“Be thankful for what you have;
You will end up, having more.”

Oprah Winfrey

My brother should be very thankful
For his new Outhouse, without a door
But instead, he has whined and complained
So now, I’ve graciously given him much more

I’ve spent the last three days fitting it with wheels
Now, he can actually scoot himself, all over town
His new Outhouse is actually now a real ‘Porta-Potty’
He won’t have to stay in my yard, he can scoot all around

In fact, I’ve even equipped his new Outhouse with a GPS
He can scoot his way over to Cousin Tom’s, for the Holidays
He does not even have to worry about ever running out of fuel
His gift is ‘Gas-Powered’ so he’ll be able to travel a very long way

Be thankful for whatever you have,
You will end up, having much more;
And I hope Cousin Tom is now thankful,
Since Old Matlack will soon be at his door.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone;
I’m Very Thankful Right Now!

©Thanksgiving 2014, Mr. Ed

Practical poetry Ed. Practical invention too. But when your over 60 we can only wish this was something on the market too. I wonder what it would go for on E-bay? Ten, Twenty, Thirty thousand? It's a one of a kind design and one heck of a conversation piece. Also, like Ron said, you never have to worry about getting stuck in a traffic jam. People might ask if you would pull-over and borrow the facilities. What a gift!

What a hoot! I could have used that vehicle while stuck in traffic with no exit or restroom in sight. Maybe you can patent it and sign the patent over to old Matlack so that he'll never have to worry about anything as the licensing checks come rolling Might get enough even set him up with one on a sailboat. Even include surround sound.

A true Porta-Potty,
it runs on methane gas.
Now Ed can go scootin' around,
But I hope this way he'll pass.

This is just to funny!

PeeWeeeeeeee........

the Workmanship is superb!
Such fine lines in matching woodgrains...
Finish molding work around the wheels trimmed so nicely!
And the use of Natural Methane is sheer Genius?
Knowing just how Full of Do-Do the Devil is, he might just
set Guinness

You'd be alot more thankful if you even saw fit to invite me to dinner tomorrow, rather than shuffling me off to Baltimore and Cuz Curs place...by the way that is really nice that outhouse with wheels, all I would ask for is a windshield & don't forget the wiper...Happy Turkey day...-e- (maybe as well a nice sound system...?)
