Happy End.

Doggerel Dave

Our relationship warm and snug,

Intimacy not easy to define;

The closeness had been so benign -

What was there left to do but shrug?

                ***

Security not guaranteed

No matter time and circumstance.

Unhinged by wear without distance,

Though despite my obvious need.

                ***

A toilet seat ancient and bakelite,

It’s comfort nothing but supreme;

Search long but a win it would seem:

Aah, it’s surface so smooth and white…

    So many to choose from elongated, standard, padded, enameled, painted wood, heated. As for me I prefer a hole in a board in the outhouse. Good write Dave made me smile.

      Thanks Soren. A familiar I was not prepared to give up on. Hunt really long as I did not find the right search terms for quite a while. I buy many items on line, including radio, TV, and Fridge over time , but this simple inexpensive purchase gave me more excitement than any of the rest...

      You must be Flushed after all that . Is there a Foot STOOL near by? I'm on a ROLL with this ...
      A good Write.

      Thought it was love. Thought it was philosophy. It was bakelite. Supreme comfort indeed. Clearly written.
