A barefoot bum in a public loo

I found 'em on the floor one night:
discarded  socks no longer white
(the guy had diarrhoea, that's clear -
no paper left to wipe his rear -
and took the socks right off his feet...)
I guess he'd used the final sheet
of paper on the roll. He whined, 
I bet! Then left his socks behind!
