The Bathroom Door

Do people close the bathroom door When they’re at home alone? If research has been done, I wonder What results have shown. The purpose of a fastened door’s So privacy’s achieved; Preventing someone’s barging in Makes occupants relieved. But what if no one else is there? Then solitude’s assumed. In secrecy, a person May be emptied, bathed and groomed. Yet certain habits are ingrained From childhood days of youth And breaking them is hard to do, Plus sometimes seems uncouth. So when I pay a visit To perform a bathroom chore, No matter if nobody’s home, I always shut the door.

HAHAHAHAH! I'm uncouth! So uncouth! My family are always after me to shut the door!!! I guess it has to do with getting locked in a bathroom when i was six which has made me a hopeless claustrophobic. My biggest nightmare? Airplane bathrooms! Good Grief. Once a guest walked in on me in my home in Cyprus...I'm scarred for life! ;) GREAT POEM! GREAT RHYMING! Love this Ilene! You always make me smile! I need to smile!
