Mainly Mania, 47

(obsession doggerel)

Yellow River: uromania

He’d always loved the yellow snow—

It had, for him, a special glow:

To see the spots where doggies go.

A father, he had long preferred

The diaper-changing (magic word

For him—for us, a bit absurd).

He was a man not hard to please—

And one of urine’s devotees.

He minded all his q’s and p’s.
