Ralph Taylor Poet Limerick

Misnomer

RESTROOM, is a misnomer at best.

To me that's a fact, I attest!

     Though my visits are brief,

     I've gotten lots of relief,

but never once, have I got any rest!


Suggestion:  Call them Relief Rooms!

Carolyn Devonshire May 13, 2011 at 9:17 AM Outrageously funny, Ralph! Some men go into the bathrooms with newspapers and do seem to "rest" there for hours. For me, it's a place for relief. What a great limerick -- you sure know how to write 'em. Love, Carolyn
