Excellent Mom loved to paint. Stuck by HarryT The Joy of Childhood contest entry

Dad bound up the front stairs with a huge urge Peeled off his coat, hurried into the bathroom Slammed the door, feeling an urgent fecal surge Drop his pants, got comfortable on the throne   Relieved himself, however, when he tried to stand No matter how much he shimmied and swayed… He was utterly stuck! He needed a helping hand See, Mom had painted the walls and the toilet seat   Swear words pierced through the bathroom door Mom fetched a rag, drenched it with turpentine She dabbed and pulled, he was up, but butt sore His backside had an outline of the seat for a week   Mom was known as “Paint Brush Mary” Painting the rooms in the house and anything else We teased Dad, his nickname, “Stuckee, Harry” By far, painting was Mom’s favorite thing to do   We kids would tell the stuck story When family and friends gathered Recounting Dad’s droll defamatory Even Dad would laugh in later years   Author Notes A true story.
