Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I Just Hate Using Public Toilets

I hurry to the ladies toilets
Because I need to use the loo
But all the cubicles are occupied
(There’s a stench of rancid pooh)

I stand there with my legs crossed
And I do a little ‘dance’
Oh hurry up and vacate the stall
Or I’m going to pee my pants!

I eventually hear a toilet flush
And I hobble through that door
But I need to wipe down the toilet seat
Removing drips from the butt before

I finally pull down my pants
And I dribble a tiny little pee
I’d thought my bladder was fit to burst
So there was no need for this urgency!

I can hear ladies chatter outside the door
Asking why is there such a big queue
My hubby tells me next time I need to go
I should sneak in the gentlemen’s loo!

CayCay Godwin November 13, 2017 at 6:43 AM It would be so much fun to hang out with you, and respond to your humor in ways that are too inappropriate for SOUP, but true reactions and laughter based. There comes an age (apparently), when one no longer 'has to pee' and one just 'pees'. I now know the reason for an entire aisle of products in the stores. Enjoyed this ... CayCay Jan Allison November 13, 2017 at 7:44 AM Cheers CayCay its infuriating there is always a queue at the ladies loo and not at the gents lol :-) hugs jan xx

Maurice Yvonne April 9, 2017 at 2:16 PM Fantastic, another huge winner. A Fav! Jan Allison April 9, 2017 at 3:23 PM Thanks Armand I think this is one of my own faves it made me giggle writing it:-) hugs jan xx

John Michaels April 9, 2017 at 12:35 PM Another hilarious piece from you, Jan. Whenever I need cheering up, I will hunt down one of your poems and I've no doubt it will bring a smile to my face! :) Jan Allison April 9, 2017 at 12:40 PM Aww thanks John:-) I do surprise with the occasional serious poem but I do love trying to make people smile with my poems:-) I am hoping to perform this on stage later this month:-)hugs Jan xx

Roy Pett April 6, 2017 at 4:35 PM Brilliant Jan as always, I don't really know but perhaps if the ladies were redesigned so they could use a Shewee! this may solve the problem, great poem well written, Roy, :))) Jan Allison April 6, 2017 at 5:03 PM Thanks Roy I had great fun writing this poem and hope to perform it on stage later this month ... I think many in the audience will relate to my lines:-) hugs Jan xx

Pashang Salehi April 6, 2017 at 10:51 AM delightful like always.... Jan Allison April 6, 2017 at 2:42 PM Thanks Pashang:-) hugs jan xx

Alexis Y. April 5, 2017 at 11:52 AM Lol! Jan , you've created a funny scene, for a not so funny situation. As always I enjoyed the humor:-) Alexis Jan Allison April 5, 2017 at 2:46 PM I saw my first unisex loo's in our Government building on Saturday ... it really does make sense and the queues would be reduced!:-) hugs jan xx Jan Allison April 5, 2017 at 12:43 PM A somewhat tongue in cheek write Alexis but I am sure many ladies have found really long queues in the ladies toilets yet the men's rooms are pretty empty:-( hugs Jan xx

Anne-Marie Coreggia April 5, 2017 at 7:23 AM I think this problem is shared by women who reach a 'certain age', and I wish they would put in way more stalls in women's bathrooms since mothers take their children there. Thank you for bringing a smile on my face this morning :) Amitiés Jan Allison April 5, 2017 at 11:45 AM You make some very good points in your comment Anne-Marie:-) hugs Jan xx

Charlotte Puddifoot April 5, 2017 at 3:56 AM jan, i have a secret theory on why this is so...i hate using public loos! who's been there before me...? lol...it reminds me of a poem my gran once wrote on the same subject! she used to write some humorous ones like yours; wish i could remember the poem but i can't Jan Allison April 5, 2017 at 6:53 AM Wow the talent for writing must be in our genes Charlotte, it would be wonderful to see what our ancestors wrote. My aunt and uncle both wrote humourous poems, it just took my hubbies cancer which unleashed this hidden creativity - I wouldn't say talent lol I write a lot of poop on soup lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Doug Vinson April 4, 2017 at 7:42 PM When you gotta go, you.... Jan Allison April 5, 2017 at 6:50 AM ... hope there isn't a massive queue lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Charlie Smith April 4, 2017 at 2:42 PM Only thing worse is a Port O Potty, Good laugh Jan... Jan Allison April 4, 2017 at 5:18 PM Oh Charlie they are vile to use but a necessary evil I suppose:-( hugs Jan xx

Frank Sheehan April 4, 2017 at 11:59 AM Excellent write. Very funny. I enjoy all of your work immensely. Thanks for sharing.

Demetrios Trifiatis April 4, 2017 at 7:48 AM Haha! You are killing me dear, Jan! So hilarious your poem is! A big, big 7+! Jan Allison April 4, 2017 at 1:12 PM I do try and write with humour Demetrios - this is somewhat tongue in cheek but I am sure many ladies can relate:-) hugs jan xx

Seren Roberts April 3, 2017 at 6:56 PM Jan its very plain to tell..... that we use the same public loos..... one thing worse than the smell.... is that shiny toilet roll,.... so try not to poo..... the new round invention seems to run out...... you then hear my feeble shout. Haha loved it....Seren Jan Allison April 4, 2017 at 7:29 AM Ha ha ha your comment is pure 'poetry in motion ' lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Agnes Krampe April 3, 2017 at 6:15 PM They should plan for twice as many ladies' than men's rooms. Jan Allison April 4, 2017 at 7:28 AM I agree Agnes I am sure it is an issue all over the world lol!:-) hugs Jan xx

Lin Lane April 3, 2017 at 3:23 PM ewwwww I was eating when I started reading this. Jan Allison April 3, 2017 at 5:20 PM So sorry Lin - this one just kind of slipped out lol:-) hugs jan xx

Elizabeth Kinch April 3, 2017 at 2:32 PM I have been known to use the empty gents when the ladies queue was too long! Witty write Jan. Jan Allison April 3, 2017 at 2:36 PM I've recently seen unisex toilets in a building that would solve a few issues! Hugs jan xx

Chris Green April 3, 2017 at 12:57 PM The lines never seem as long in the men's room. But, the stench is unrivaled. :) Funny Jan. Jan Allison April 3, 2017 at 1:00 PM Ha Ha Ha - i know my hubby says the same - if we go at the same time he is always pacing around waiting for me lol:-) hugs Jan xx
