(With apologies and homage to Tarō Gomi and his beloved children's book, Everyone Poops, which every child and pilgrim should have.)
Every Pilgrim Poops
A Galician cow makes a big poop.
A Camino bed bug makes a tiny poop.
A one-pack pilgrim makes a one-pack poop.
A two-hump pilgrim makes a two-pack poop. No, not really!
Spanish people poop.
And so do Americans. And Australians, Brazilians and Koreans too.
Different species and nationalities make different sorts of poop.
Different textures, different tissues, even different cultural norms.
Which end is the Peregrino's behind?
What does Serrano pig poop look like?
Some wait for a bar with a baño (bathroom) to poop.
Others do it right on The Road to Santiago!
Some poop behind bushes or in little holes they dig and bury.
Others do it by hay stacks or trees and forget to bury (their poop or tissues). Yuck!
Old pilgrims poop. Young pilgrims poop too.
While some pilgrims get constipated because they will ONLY poop on the potty, others get the runs because they eat too many Pilgrim Meals.
Some pilgrims poop and don't care if anyone and everyone walking by sees them.
Others are more private and have panic attacks hoping they are done super pronto.
These poop by the river. This one sticks his bum precariously out over the river in a version of Utkatasana (chair pose).
She wipes herself with paper, then flushes it down so no one has to view poop while on a meditative walk.
He doesn't, but just leaves it behind to gross other pilgrims out. Double Yuck!
All living things eat, so,
All pilgrims poop.
