Poem 228 - The Board Not Seen

While playing, I discovered a new cave

And to go inside the cave, I got a crave

And so inside I went, and was immediately hit by cold, smelly air

With a shudder I wondered if anyone was there

I went further inside to get hit by the stench of putrid water

The smell was increasing and it wasn't getting any hotter

A chill through my back made me go back from the cold, dirty place

And so I ran like I was running in an Olympics race

Once outside, under some brush, I noticed, a board that made me so cross

It said 'Enter at your own risk, through the cave sewage water does pass'

How could I have been a fool, not to look at that board

After a long, clean bath, I heard my parents laughing for the story that I'd poured
