This was delightful! It was also insightful. On its behalf, I had a good belly laugh with each line of coupled rhyme. And the master topper that you made, was considering an outhouse an upgrade. HaH!

A very well-written poem and great use of the prescirbed words that tell a story of something we all can relate to very well. When we have to go it must happen quick sometimes.

This poem, When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go, uses all the required words and creates this rustic situation where an outhouse becomes the preferred place to drop a deuce.

WOW! This poem is so creatively-written, with some dry humor in the mix.
Some will read this and say, "Did people really used to live this way?!"
Until I was in my mid-teens, we had an outdoor toilet and got our water
from a dug-well out back or a spring. We were typical.

I like this!

This is an excellent poem. It is well written well presented and the rhyme and flow are smooth. The words are well chosen and make for a humorous read, and the artwork adds a nice finishing touch.

Difficult or not (and it certainly would have been for me!), I think you did an excellent job fitting these words into a sensible, credible and humorous story. Your rhymes work well and, while there is a problem with meter and flow, I fully understand that having to fit all those words in was definitely a hindrance. Overall, I think you handled this very well, and I wish you luck in the contest.
