Image for the poem An American Hero

An American Hero

he was the first man to say  
fuck this shit and mean it  
he was literally tired of all the shit  
enough of the shit show
this shit's gotta go  
he no longer wanted to own his shit  
but not just his  
he was fed up with putting up with  
everybody else's shit  
as far as he was concerned  
everybody was full of shit  
he knew shit rolled downhill  
so he was committed to put an end  
to the shit once and for all  
and that sentiment inspired him to  
invent the world's first crapper  
i salute you,sir as  
i honor you by openly celebrating  
Happy Thomas Crapper Day  
which is every time i  
flush my toilet  
thank you for your help in keeping  
so much shit outta my life  
you were a true  
visionary

Author's Note
.....the shit we take for granted..

although he was English
he inspired Americans to adopt
his 'take no shit' attitude
