Excellent A Palinode Little Poems : Hue and Cry by Treischel

I regret I wrote "The Outhouse" With its potty humor queue. 'Twas offensive to my spouse, As it raised a cry and hue. Author Notes My wife is not a big fan of swearing or bathroom humor. So she objected when I went to post this poem. OUTHOUSE Distant Walls. Nature Calls. Frigid run, duty done. He sits and shits. Astride, outside. This poem is a Palinode. A Palinode is an ode in which the writer retracts a view or sentiment expressed in an earlier poem or other written works. The word comes from the Greek "palin" meaning "back song". It can also be a recantation of a defamatory statement in Scots Law. Palinodes have been created by many medieval writers such as Augustine, Bede, Giraldus Cambrensis, Jean de Meun, Andreas Capellanus and others. Source: Wikipedia. This photograph is one I used in the the original poem too.
