The Defiled Undergarments

A poem by Milan Patel

The first day of kindergarten, I knew so few
I was but a young boy, so fragile and true
Little did I know in my pants I would poo

First math, then science, the day was a rush
“What sweet little kids” the teacher would gush
‘Til it was nap time, unto descended a hush

So distracted was I by all the festivities,
In part of my awe I abandoned proclivities,
I had not rationed time to use the facilities

Like a caterpillar with a bowel disorder I did lay,
On the floor in my sleeping bag I had to stay,
I believe what came next it is needless to say,

I was sent home early that day.
