Toilet Talk

What does one do when in the public loo, 
Apart from the obvious one’s or two’s, well it’s true!
Walls decorated with an array of graffiti and words
Scribble, or jokes, tasteless, amusing or absurd  
The mischief one gets up to, in a moment of quiet
Who would of thought to have a marker on hand
Ready for the opportunity to sign one’s tag
Tell me have you ever pondered the thought
Of having a wall of poetry, for the toilet door
Like a whiteboard, that you can clean with ease
Always ready for a new day, or week of ideas
Just imagine the mind’s workings in progress
Looking straight back at you when your mind is in idle 
This is what happens when one is on the loo
Time on one’s hands to think things through!

This is absolutely brilliant! Some of my greatest inspirations occur while seated on the loo. However, I prefer the seat at home. It's much safer! LOL!! Milt

Great poem! I've tossed around the idea of compiling and editing a collection of toilet poetry. If printed on the right paper it could serve a dual purpose.... great fun reading this poem.... Jake

even at a temporal level, we have a reckless concept of what life is, namely to to feed our appetites and make pointless endeavors... you provoke me, chaz... have we become nothing more than the spiritual wallpaper or are we learn the lesson of the meaningfulness of life?...very well penned!... love this!..:) huggs
