A Snake Came Out Of My Loo
Next moment a Rat did too
A Snake Came Out Of My Loo
A snake popped up in my loo last night,
Gave me and my hubby a horrible fright.
They always say keep the loo lid down
a snake or a rat get get in with out a sound.
It slithered and coiled by the porcelain rim,
Eyes like dark beads, cold and grim.
We stumbled back, too shocked to shout,
Wondering how the devil it wriggled out.
Police came a got the snake and rat out
It frightened us in fear we screamed out
We’re always told to keep loo lids down
I never thought it would happen.
It made me frown and think twice.
Having a snake bite your ass well,
It’s just not nice.
Tonight just was not nice.
The lid’s down now, tight and sealed,
A silent guard, a porcelain shield.
But every flush, I pause and stare,
Half-expecting a snake to be lurking there.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

What a poem for this can actually happen, but not to me. What a humorous piece. Good job.
Oh wow, that was frighteningly surprising~ I love how you wrote your poem, you kept me on my toes from the start.
