Me, I'M... Public? (Children) Poem by Cj Heck

One day when we were shopping,
I really had to pee,
so Mom and I went looking
for a restroom just for me.

We walked and looked around the mall,
past almost every store,
and then we looked and walked around
the mall a little more.

Then Mommy stopped and pointed.
'There's a restroom... over there! '
I looked and didn't see it,
so I asked her, 'Show me, where? '

Again she stopped and pointed.
'See that sign above the door?
The sign says Public Restroom.'
So we ran across the floor.

When we opened up the restroom door,
there was such a long, long line.
I REALLY had to go by then,
and I was running out of time.

I wondered … then I asked my mom,
'Can WE go here? It's Public.'
She smiled and giggled, then laughed out loud
when I asked her, 'Aren't we Catholic? '
