Comic Observations by a 10 Year Old on the Perplexites of Human Biological Functions.

Beneath the sink

in my house of 

three sisters

is a box or two 

of mysterious origin

tucked way in the back 

as if they were trying 

to hide a treasure
 


Funny little paper- 

-wrapped tubes with 

a string attached

mini-rockets of 

some kind?? that they 

only pay attention to

once in a while, 

but then I never know 

what becomes of them 

these tubular cardboard 

dilemma's lying in neat 

rows like sardines unserved

I shake my head and 

quickly shove them back 

beneath the copper pipes 
~


And then there are 

the panty shields??? 

I know of course what 

panties are even at 10

but shields? When I think

of shields I picture 

a quarter inch thick, 

steel plate bent to deflect

cannon balls, guided missiles, 

and six inch knives 

but panty shields 

what the heck are 

they protecting 

down there? 
~

Of course I've always 

been the curious adolescent
 
even at a much younger age 

I would explore the 

forbidden fruits of

adult and teenage doohickies
 
it's not my first encounter 

with the strange things 

stored round here 
 
I used to love to open 

my Daddies very top drawer
 
that he always assumed 

was too high for me to reach
 
chairs are a wonderful 

invention that boosted 

many a child's level of 

education to a higher degree 

of the comprehension of life
 
inside that drawer I would
 
find these round, slippery, 

rubber things encased in 

a bright foil pack. 

They would wiggle and 

squirm in the square 

that held them so very 

snugly in their liquid place, 
 
it piqued my curiosities. 

So much that I'd further 

my study
 
I used to get a needle 

and poke them to see 

if any one of 
 
those little suckers 

were alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

had five kids and a hysterectomy!"
