Anus horribilus If you don't wipe Not too hard tho Or the paper turns Well.. what? - brown plus red: Terra cotta Toilet Rosetta stone-like Parchment, Or scroll Of problematic bowels - Someone said annual I heard anal - Someone said therapist I screamed Sex offender * Thanks for reading! Little bit of Tuesday subversive fun. Isn't language fun. Or is this just me hiding darker, more serious themes beneath a swirling sea of sewage?
