How did this not win? Six stars for eliciting such an obnoxious laugh from me with just seventeen syllables!
My girls were both c-sections, so I avoided pooping on them. In fact, the surgery causes quite the opposite. I wrote a limerick chain about it last year called "Poop, there it is"... you might enjoy it.
Thank you for another laugh, my friend!

So completely irreverent, so it ticks the humorous box! I like your play on scat/eschatology.
I kept telling the nurse I really had to pee, but she wouldn't let me get up because the birth was impending. She told me to just go in the bed and not worry about it. Well, I couldn't do that because that's just not civilized. So as the baby passed into this world, the doctor got one heck of a golden shower. He took it in stride.
TMI?
It's your fault. Your 575 took me there.

Haha, glad someone picked up on that deliberate typo in the title and if anyone would catch it, it would definitely be you. I originally had a golden shower effect around the brown font as a halo effect, but it was not rendering very cleanly so I got rid of it. Yeah, I sent this piece to a devout Catholic gal and she was not impressed : ) thanks for sharing that story! I will pass it along to a sister-in-law who is expecting.

Hey, Congratulations! You're going to be an uncle (again?)
Merry Christmas!

Ciao!
Yes, I once read about this unpleasant occurrence. It makes sense with all the pushing they do. I'm sure some even pee.
I do think though that 2,000 years ago women were more focused on staying alive and hoping the newborn was healthy.

I bet you are right. Frankly, pooping on the baby probably helps with immunity!

This poem is hilariously unexpected! The twist at the end really made me smile. But I suspect smoe may be offended. I love the playful take on a serious moment. The direct language works so well. Well done!

Thanks! No doubt some will be. It's not doing so hot in the booth. Oh well. I usually think my pieces will turn out to be more popular, but nope.
