I nestled my bottom on the seat Of the toilet - I’m being discrete I finished my job Now need a lynch mob It’s a good thing I didn’t excrete! There’s no paper left in the loo My language is turning quite blue If you use the last sheet Will you kindly replete Or there’ll be a hullabaloo Contest -I’m so annoyed Sponsor Mary Oliver Rotman 01 08 15

BIG congrats my friend! The title is sheer GENIUS...One point I'd like to make though, why aren't MEN allowed to complain when their wives fail to put the toilet seat back UP? It's an outrage I tell you! Gender discrimination at its worst...

Sorry Jan, I was in a rush to post a poem. Isn't one of the ten great laws of spirituality "to insure a spiritually uplifting experience for those to follow......put a new roll of TP on the roll." I think it comes right after the one about refilling the ice cube tray.

you know me Andrea - I can't resist the opportunity to write pooh poetry and this REALLY does irritate me - not so bad at home but at work they have these horrid massive rolls and the end of the paper gets torn off and you can't get your hands on the next sheet - arrgghhh - I always take some in with me in my bag now lol

The problem with Limericks is that they turn up to the least expected places, Jan! ...Riotous! Will the contest take place in public view? Ha-ha!

Jan Allison
