Ode to my throne

Ezra LaPlant

You are my throne
My seat of sanctuary
Without you I blow
You make me feel better

You are an omnivore
You are not picky
You’ll take anything that comes your way
You take solids and liquids and mushy stuff too

Some may call you a seat of cold metal
But you mean more to me
Without you my situation stinks
You are my throne: the toilet
