I Stole a Portalette

I work hard at work and then at home In the bathroom is the only place I am King of the throne There is such a thing as a honey do list And at work so much to do, no time for bliss I did something that I know I will never regret I went and stole a portalette It fits perfect in the corner of my back yard I notice the neighbors outside working real hard We negotiate an admission fee for them to use it I put up a sign that reads Enjoy it, but don't abuse it I hire the Chicanos around the corner to add some graffiti I took advantage of Zero percent financing from Sears to install some central air and heating Next summer I will expand it and add another wall This will be where I will have a spa I just put in cable tv to provide entertainment Now my friends want to steal their own portalette I told them construction sites are probably an ideal place to get one I tell them to check and see how full it is, because spilling it ain't no fun If it is full, complain to the Site Foreman so he will get it emptied, thus, making it easier for you to handle Be careful of the methane gas, use a flashlight, not a candle Odo Ban works better than Febreeze Try to place it under some shade trees It will keep the temperature inside moderate Take pride in your newly acquired portalette If you treat it right, it will provide you with this one thing It may not happen in your own home, but in your portalette you can always be King But now you get into the issue of His or Hers Another visit to the construction site may have to occur
