In Need of a Hook

A women's bathroom needs a hook
Though oftentimes it's missing
And so our bags must sit in gook
While we are stuck there pissing.

Since men don't have this issue
They don't even need to hurry
And, without the need for tissue
They, too, lack that extra worry.

My suggestion? A reversal.
Let the menfolk hold our purses
And you'd hear, from this rehearsal,
Quite a chorus full of curses.

Funny but true Ilene. Speaking of toilet tissue, there's a saying I heard once...."No matter how much you shake, wriggle or dance.....a few drops always run down your pants."

Liked it. I laughed. Obviously you have been in a men's bathroom. There's something on the floor worse than goop. Hence the cursing .....
