Logical Reasoning

At first nobody understands,
some blokes from far distant lands,
when they went to the dunny,
it seemed curiously funny,
they never bothered to wash their hands.

And that’s never our way as it stands,
to wash is what hygiene commands,
so I put it to to them,
and their answer’s - ahem,
because we don’t pee on our hands.

Lol Lindsay good one! Just checking though, did you mean to have the word "on" twice in the last line?

Hello Silent One ... thanks for reading, and yes, I too wash my hands for hygiene purposes, not for this blokes theory. Lindsay
