Inspired by a conversation with my mother
Petunia McGraw sat at bingo one night
The jackpot cash prize was almost in sight.
Poised with her dauber all senses aquiver
When her bladder sent out the most tremendous shiver.
The caller reached in and pulled the next ball
But it wasn’t his voice that rang loud though the hall.
“Don’t read the number, that’d be a mistake
Why not instead call a ten-minute break?
I strongly suggest that you listen to me
It’s been a full hour since I last got to pee!”
Don’t be quick to judge as they run for the door
Old ladies can’t hold it like they held it before.
