Notes About The Poem

I kid you not, the mayor a woman I might add, thinks men need a place to pee, but women can hold it in until..........  Of all the solutions, this is the best one could come up with?

 

Wee Paris

In Paris

now you can pee
or wee
all while you sight-see
ah Paris
environmentally pee free
feminists  however
must store their pee
only in private
can they set their wee free

All the women need is a pot to piss in Art. Perhaps like those steam box contraptions of yesteryear?

Hilarious. Considering Paris just revoked a women not allowed to wear pants law just a couple years ago, we may yet see progress in our lifetime ;) xomo

Oh My Gosh, did not believe it until I searched "The “uritrottiers,” which is the combined French word for urinal and pavement, will be filled with straw in order to stop the stench of urine. The straw from the urinals will then be collected and used as compost, according to a statement from the city." That is totally not appropiate, there is no modesty in Paris? What the hell is happening in this world? UNBELIEVABLE ! Also, where are they meant to wash their hands out after touching their private parts? Honestly- I personally would feel very comfortable seeing men pee in public
