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! 3rd April 2017

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

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! :)

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, :)))

Lol! Jan , you've created a funny scene, for a not so funny situation. As always I enjoyed the humor:-) Alexis

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

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

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, 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

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

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

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
