He Gave It a Flush

He sat on the seat
  nor too plain nor too plush
And when he had finished
  he gave it a flush

Down the well went ideas and thoughts
  on the ruination society had wrought...
Then he flushed one more time to silence the rant
  that he felt like unleashing for soiling his pants

You didn't put the lid on this one, Gershon, just let it all out . . . : )

Just as our minds go the way of all flesh, so do our thoughts go the way of all flush(es). lol. Thanks, Lindsay

Hey, thanks a million, Joe. I was really hoping that this might brighten a few people's faces... We tend to get a bit too tense sometimes, you know... Thanks again. ~ Gershon

lol This reminds me of something that happened years ago when a married couple we knew were fighting. She slipped some chocolate exlax into some chocolate candies they had. When he asked if she had done anything to his food she laughed and told him what she had done. She said she thought he was full of it so she helped him to get rid of it. Too funny. Good one Gershon. God Bless, JB

Ha, ha, ha, ha! Now that's a great story, if ever there was. Thanks for the chuckles, Judy. And remember to flush twice at the high school cafeteria; it's a long way to the kitchen. Smiles, Gershon

Flushing can be done in many ways, Mike. You're right. Witness Flushing Meadows, New York... Just don't ask me how many times you need to flush for a 'Royal Flush.' :)
