Time Spent On Rhyme

With all the time I spend on rhyme
    in vain pursuit of beauty
  I neglect to help my fellow man
    and fail my forsworn duty

  So this vow I make right now
    Do not think I take it lightly ~
  to rig up my toilet to fertilize my lawn
    and flush it day and nightly

Hey Gershon, the fertilizer may help grow 'toilet-trees' in your garden. ...or 'lavatrees'. :) Cheers - Gary

The grass is always greener over the septic tank, so the old wise man says. Here's to green grass and a clean A___.

The idea may save time Gershon - But lawns are put there to sit upon - Water from the loo - From my point of view - Would turn a good lawn somewhat noisome……. Belle
