The Purple Privy

Privy, the potty place, putrid and purple,
Peeling paint is not appealing,
Plaster, patch and prime,
Purchase pail of paint,
Paint the privy.
Primrose…
Pretty!

Peeling paint is bad, but watch out for splinters too. I don't believe most privy owners paint the seat. I got a big kick out of this one, Robert. How about the army and their olive drab privies. God, the smell of the paint was awful, let alone the_________But when you combine the two. Arrgghhh! Love, Dave
