SQUATERS RIGHTS
‘You’ve failed to lower the seat again.
It seems I’m always telling you,
I guess you men are all the same.
Why can I not get through to you?
To close it down is common sense
for when we ladies come to use it
down is where we need it hence
the rule is clear so don’t abuse it.’
…….
‘But just a moment darling wife,
the time has come to reappraise it.
On this you’ve nagged me all my life
but when I use it I must raise it.
So kindly listen to what I say
for surely thus the rule is clear.
No matter what the time of day
the correct position is raised my dear.’

I am always telling you and you guess this very well. No matter what the time of day the correct position is raised my dear. This poem is wise and very interesting.
Thanks Pintu - It's interesting to note that it's only the women who complain about it being left raised - you never hear men complaining about it being left down. But then there is no written law about it to say which is the correct position :0)
Ha ha love this
Michael.....
So the time honoured
Tradition of leaving
The seat up is not
just confined to
My house....
Brilliant....
Universal problem - leave it up I say!
Ha Ha you men! Complaining about the seat again! Very entertaining Michael! Nice painting as well. Excellent title!
Ohhhhhhhhhh MICHAEL ~ I did not expect a LAVATORIAL JOKE from you ! It is just another YIN & YANG situation of the "ups and downs" of life. Men always want a bigger target to aim at ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN There was always tension in the local CONVENT if they found the SEAT UP ! Thanks for another excellent painting ~ too good for the LOO WALL !
Thanks Brian - no idea where the painting has been hung as it was sold about a year ago - don't mind it being in the loo (a good place for contemplation) as long as it's not down it !! .
I live in a house with all boys and my husband and thankfully I trained them early on to close the lida as well due to ecoli and other germs that can go through the air on flushing. Truth be told if I find it up I just put it down as I know how it works lol
Thanks mammyo3 - yes boys are the worst
