I covered my nose,
the smell was strong,
in a public place
where it didn't belong.
I was out shopping
and there on the floor,
droppings of poop
leading out to the door.
I looked all around
then a sudden surprise,
someone stepped in it,
then wide went her eyes.
The odor it carried
made her stomach upset,
she suddenly threw up
and the floor was all wet.
Others hurried outside
to get away from the smell,
after it was cleaned up
there was a tale to tell.
