When I Knew

The warm autumn day,
enlightened you.
Family's septic tank,
was now rank.

Recently pumped,
all were stumped.
A cesspool, disgusting, and stank.

Inside, all were hoping,
one push of a lever
wouldn’t propel
a putrid volcanic swell,
to descend.

Getting off your rump,
borrowing a pump,
cleaned out the sump.

Ignored the stench
even got drenched
standing over the sewage pit.

Covered mire,
you didn't tire,
you didn’t quit,
pumping shit.

Encased in gob,
your self assumed family job.

Funny how,
in this moment,
I knew,
I was in love with you.

    Ah nice... lots of lovely images are 'floating' in my head now... and I am just about to have dinner... Ah well nevermind, it'll be just like that time I sat down and watched a butcher at work before lunch! It just made me so hungry.

    Very Good

    Good humour aspect, aside from the humour this was excellent word play and you did well to carry that theme throughout the poem.

    Excellent stuff.
