Maybe if we shift the 'as' up to the top line?
I like that, when confronted with the image of Bert taking a steaming turd, possibly wrapped in a nappy and a tiny little t-shirt, and depositing it with the confused staff of a playschool, your first thought was "That almost scans like a haiku."

It's the way my minds work,
and the bloody way you phrased it.

Next time, triolet.

Have you set me this task because it will be a challenge
Or because of the resemblance between 'triolet' and 'toilet'?

It was the first form that came into my head
possibly as I read a story recently where one of the characters WAS a triolet.

Get your mind out of the gutter. It wouldn't hurt you to act like a decent member of society for one day, would it? yes, I said member.

Now that really would be a challenge
Though, to be honest, if you hadn't pointed out that you'd said 'member,' I wouldn't be giggling about it right now.
