Mom always insisted
I wear clean underwear,
just in case I wound up
in the hospital,
so that I wouldn't
embarasss her with
"Skanky Skivvies."
Then I got shot,
and the next thing
that happened was
my bowels let loose,
a common occurence
in traumatic states.
"Sorry Mom, shit happens!"

Oh LMAO!!! Too funny! And yes you are so right about what happens to the body under trauma! I just love the way you encompassed that wellworn saying of today 'Shit Happens'
Also loved'Skanky Skivvies'
