Peepin' Joe

As I sat down to watch TV
I heard my daughter calling me
Her voice was filled with total fear
Coming from the bathroom near

She gave another fearful shout
So I ran in to check it out
I thought someone had dumped a load
And just plugged up the ole commode

She was standing there in fright
Staring at an awful sight
From the look upon her face
I knew something was out of place

I peered into the toilet bowl
And there was something in the hole
I wasn’t sure what it could be
But it was looking back at me

I could see a head with hair
Underneath the water there
I grabbed hold and gave a tug
It popped right out onto the rug

And when I got a closer view
I realized exactly who,
Had caused this little bathroom mess
And very soon he did confess

My son, who is just four you know
Was playing with his G.I. Joe
When suddenly he got the urge
And quickly had the need to purge

With Joe along there for the ride
My son had let him fall inside
With all the “stuff” in there with him
My boy gave Joe a little swim

He gave the handle a quick jerk
But his little plan did not quite work
Joe got stuck inside the pipe
My son ran out without a wipe

And it was shortly after, when
My daughter saw Joe half way in
And I reached in the toilet bowl
To pull him from his wet foxhole

Now it’s a joke around our place
You ought to see my daughter’s face
When anytime she has to go
We say “Watch out for Peepin’ Joe”
