Ode to the toilet

---

There are many things for which we thank
As we sit in our western homes
But its a safe bet we often forget
Our humble ceramic thrones

Thats right the loo, the lav, the bog
You find them everywhere
That porcelain base, its every place
But please take heed and care

For if you travel to the East
To countries far and wide
The Asian loo will wait for you
And this I shall confide

A hole in floor begins the spot
Then foot rests to either side
And then thats it, when you want to sit
There's nowhere for your bum to ride

You balance on your feet and squat
An art form to learn well
A couple of beers and then there's tears
As you'll fall straight in to hell

To push, to pee, to move, to wipe,
They all require finesse
But thank the lord is all i say
that i dont wear a dress

So please be warned and be prepared
Should you ever this way pass
If you're caught short in an Asian fort
There's nowhere to rest your arse



Just a quick aside from the normal travel stories. Latest idea for a job when i get back is a poet....or maybe a toilet attendant. Love to all :-)
