No Ifs, Ands or Butts

An A.P.* who was filling in

To read aloud on Zoom

Just grabbed a book his own kids faved

And thereby met his doom.

 

The second graders loved it

But it didn’t make the cut

With his boss, because the title talked

Of needing a new butt.

 

The humor’s aimed at children

And describes, in certain parts,

The different types of derrieres

And also talks of farts.

 

Reluctant readers sometimes need

Such talk to be inspired

But still, the one who read it

Found out he had gotten fired.

 

This happened while America

Was celebrating reading

And surely censorship like this

Is not what kids are needing.
