And sorry I could not aim both
And make one target, quickly I must
Decide which stream will win, if any;
The stakes rose higher, just as the floor grew wetter,
As to which the better claim,
Because it was thicker and its flow more robust;
Though as for the clog within
Had rendered them really about the same,
And both that evening equally flew
In paths unpredictable and wild.
Oh, I kept the right for another day!
Yet knowing how stream feeds into stream,
I doubted if my floor would remain white.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two streams diverged from a clogged urethra, and I --
I gambled on the stream aiming left,
And my floor is covered in urine.
