A rhymed poem
NaPoWriMo 2021
: 6. Privacy by Debra White



There will be nothing nicer than,
when I need to ‘go pee’,
to close the door behind me and
be sure of privacy.

To know I have some time and space
to sit and do my thing,
without the fear of anybody
bleedin’ bargin’ in.

Fixed to the bathroom door, we have
a simple, little lock -
I use it ev’ry single time,
my kids, it does not block.

If they need my attention and
they need it then and there,
they turn the lock from t’other side;
crash in without a care.

They will not wait one moment ‘til
I’ve finished what I’ve started
and honestly, it’s making me
frustrated and mean-hearted.

---

I’ve bought a heavy-duty bolt
to keep the buggers out.
My privacy will be restored -
The kids can scream and shout!


 

Author Notes
Oh, to use the bathroom in peace!

t'other (pronounced 'tuther') - the other
In my part of the UK (Yorkshire), our local dialect is quite broad and we often miss out bits of words that we shouldn't!
