Water Closet

Poet Sir John Harrington
He tried to be a good Samaritan
He invented the water closet loo
To be able to stay indoors to poo

The midnight run through the snow to the outhouse troubled many, including me. However, indoor plumbing did not provide a place of refuge; not only did neighbours arrive in droves to see how it worked, sisters set up camp in it, so write another poem about whomever invented the exhaust fan!
