Embarrassed, I drove us home
My pants filled with shit

A Little Death
The following is for the “Filthy Haiku Challenge” from Jazzy Goncalves The challenge is to write a filthy, sexy Haiku. In other words lets take a trip to a steamy bedroom or bathroom or even Igloo or mile high bathroom even though I've never understood how that airplane one works. I can see a very uncomfortable cramp appearing there causing a very embarrassing moment for the couple involved. Or maybe if you're alone it would work!!

I audibly said "Oh no" when I read the subtitle... your poem did not disappoint!! 🤣🤣 So sorry this happened to you, thank you for sharing!! 🤣
What noooo! This made me laugh so hard
Omg 🙊 😂🤣Lol -
Really? I was smelling shit in my future daughter in laws car and thought I stepped on something. I didn't know people really had that happen. Turns out I remember that her and my son have 2 huge dogs and with the seat warmers and heaters going, I am blaming the dogs. Now, I have to reconsider that may be why they are letting me drive it??🤣🤣🤣
You do what you gotta do. And that was definitely doin' the do.
I don't know who had it worse, you or Cathy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hoping this is a writer using literary freedom. if not then sorry buddy it happens to the best of us.
Ouch. Sorry that happened but a great poem.
Makin' memories with the family! Great job, buddy! (The writing. The other thing, well, it happens.)
wow great job you can join my friends and read what i have just prepared for you
LOL! This new challenge is bringing out perhaps a bit too much honesty in people! Nicely done (the poem, not the deed!)
Omg 😱 🤣
Oh nooooo!! 😩😩🫠
It was a bright, sunny day when Gerald and Cathy dropped their mom at the airport after her visit. After hugging Mom goodbye, the siblings walked back to the parking garage chatting about how they would miss her, and how they were looking forward to the next visit. When they were both finally seated the car, Gerald turned to Cathy with a look of horror unlike anything she'd ever seen. It terrified her. She wasn't sure what was wrong, but knew it had to be bad news. She thought perhaps something was wrong with their Mom, that she didn't want to tell her in person. A million horrific thoughts went through her mind in the brief moment before Gerald opened his mouth to speak: "I just shit in my pants."
Oh dear. Waiting for Cathy to comment!
So many questions. And what a way to deliver what can only be described as a terrible incident! I gasped, I laughed, I squirmed, I asked "How? Why? Was it Cathy?"
poor you
Ouch. I once had a “blow out” while driving and couldn’t make it to the store bathroom in time. Quite embarrassing, to say the least. Nice Senryu.
