Edgar Allen Poo will read for you now.
A real pooem from the catalog, narrated by our gothic gentleman — with the same read-along glow the app uses.
Read by Edgar Allen Poo
“Quoth the plunger… nevermore.”
A Janitor’s Plight
The poop goes down and the smell comes up.
A courtesy flush simply won’t be enough.
To rid the stall of this gross offense.
A poop that I find indescribably intense.
It’s like my colon’s been cleaned by a white picket fence.
And left sunken a treasure so brown and so dense.
To the proprietor of this bathroom, there is no recompense.
Lock the door, man, and use some common sense.
For no human should bear these restroom events.
Three small daily pleasures
Check the sky
Local weather and air quality sit beside the day — then the verse takes the stage.
Read the pooem
One fresh pooem each day — scheduled entries first, then a fair rotation through every published pooem. National Day specials override the queue.

Pick a narrator, follow along as lines light up, and keep favorites offline for the throne room.
