The Toilet Seat

Doggerel Dave


Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
I do return sometimes... occasionally...

Believe me, this lady I knew quite well

Was bothered by toilet seats – who could tell?

Seat up or seat down, I’m not sure I knew

Just exactly what was her point of view.

 

When the toilet happened to be vacant

I enquired – found the pedestal patient;

It knew its place, didn’t worry one bit,

It just accepted – didn’t give a ++++.

    I love toilets too.

    • Doggerel Dave

      Not sure I love them; need them - yes.
      Each to their own - good luck anyway.

      Good fun write Dave, with ladies in the house the seat must always been put down otherwise severe discourse may be coming your way.

        You mean AFTER use Andy? ( I feel the timing here is a wee bit crucial....)

        I once went to a party where this sign was place in the toilet
        "We aim to please - will you aim too please!"
        Presumably aimed at gentlemen only!

        • Doggerel Dave

          Well I can see that would be a strategy AIMED at a particular moment, part of a gender specific activity, yes. But does not all that excess toilet seat movement result in added wear and tear to the seat mechanism and thus the expense of early replacement?

          A household necessity, but one that is responsible for many domestic disagreements and indeed injuries ...

          • Doggerel Dave

            Yeh - my principal argument (as above) re unnecessary wear on the seat mechanism never ever received the credit it deserved, and for reasons I have never been able to discern only seemed to exacerbate the situation...... Human relations can be difficult, can't they? My injuries did heal, with physiotherapy, eventually.....

            Love this!

            A limerick like poem common problem for those that live with the opposite sex.
            I had an idea the other day
            to make toilets pay.
            Making a toilet as a head,
            of each politician so what they said
            could be put back inside
            one push and open wide

            • Doggerel Dave

              I'd polish and present that one at the daily parade if I were you, Soren.
