Notes About The Poem

I Need To Sit

Men on the whole are wonderful BUT
When they omit to put the loo seat down
Again and again I find that it’s up
Then I end up with a massive frown!

My need is to sit when I use the loo  -
Comply with my wishes that’s all I ask
Deny it was you – it drives me so mad
Why can’t men complete an easy task!

Reason A. Poteet July 20, 2021 at 12:32 AM Good one, Jan. Commendations on your win.

Juliet Ligon July 5, 2021 at 10:07 AM It never bothered me much, as I would just kick it down with my foot.... until one time in the middle of the night I wasn't expecting it up, and almost fell in. Now he keeps it down. Enjoyed your fun and unique lento. Congratulations!

Paula Goldsmith July 5, 2021 at 8:56 AM Congratulations on your win. What a fun write. Thanks for the laugh. Just a thought, if men would fall in once it might stop them. Have a blessed day/week...........

Lisa Ricci June 10, 2021 at 5:48 AM Good Morning Jan - I didn't know what would be behind the title. This is upbeat and fun. Thank you for the smile it brings. Yes, beware of toilets and their seats (smile). Have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing. Enjoy poetry soup. Jan Allison July 5, 2021 at 5:54 AM Thanks for the fun comment Lisa:-) hugs Jan xx

Gershon Wolf June 9, 2021 at 4:25 PM Ha, ha! Good statement of the cardinal principle of bathroom use. My first wife trained me/domesticated me, and now I can't stand it when s/o leaves the seat up either... Worse yet, when there are yellow drops on that seat. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrowl! Meet the Bear named GW. lol. Toilets and Tortoises, gw Jan Allison July 5, 2021 at 5:54 AM hahah thanks GW:-) hugs Jan xx

Victor Buhagiar June 8, 2021 at 10:57 PM I am wary when not using my personal toilet. Jan Allison July 5, 2021 at 5:53 AM You are wise indeed Victor:-) hugs jan xx

Rico Leffanta June 8, 2021 at 11:41 AM You could go on, e.g., men can not sit on the new toilets without holding up their appendage so it doesn't go for a swim . .. Jan Allison July 5, 2021 at 5:53 AM Dont care what they do with their todger as long as they put the seat down after lol:-) hugs jan xx

Kim Rodrigues June 8, 2021 at 5:05 AM LOL! Always look “behind” ;) Jan Allison July 5, 2021 at 5:52 AM Definitely Kim lol:-) hugs jan xx

Joanna Daniel June 8, 2021 at 4:45 AM I see the problem is worldwide, ha ha, well written, Jan, only you can write with such ease and humour:) Jan Allison July 5, 2021 at 5:52 AM Thanks Jo:-) hugs jan xx

Mystic Rose Rose June 7, 2021 at 6:34 PM Guess they can do it straight up we can't lol, nice one Jan, have a good night, :) Rico Leffanta June 8, 2021 at 11:39 AM Not true; even with the seat up, internationally, men still pee on the floor!

Nick Trim June 7, 2021 at 6:19 PM women need it down and want men to perform the job of putting it down, yet men need it up and women want men to perform that job too!! more evidence of the unfair inequality plaguing our society. bloody sexism, ha ha jokes, did you fall in the loo? good stuff Jan Jan Allison July 5, 2021 at 5:50 AM ha ha ha thanks Nick:-) hugs Jan xx

Terry Flood June 7, 2021 at 4:54 PM You should worry, Jan. Annie pours bleach down the loo. When it’s tinkle time, I need protective goggles from the vapours that arise. Seat up? You don’t know your born. Fun write none the less. Best of luck in contest. Terry Jan Allison July 5, 2021 at 5:50 AM lol thanks Terry:-) hugs Jan xx

Alexis Y. June 7, 2021 at 3:08 PM Hi Jan, I hate when that happens. You would think putting the toilet seat down his a difficult task. I enjoyed your humorous take on the contest theme. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day:-) Alexis Jan Allison July 5, 2021 at 5:49 AM It isn't rocket science - what goes up must come down lol:-) hugs jan xx

Tom Cunningham June 7, 2021 at 2:17 PM As ladies have to sit for the entire performance its only right men do the honourable thing and put it down, it saves a lot of earache lol. Tom Jan Allison July 5, 2021 at 5:49 AM Lol Thanks Tom:-) hugs jan xx
