For Children
The Lavatory Man
By Katanga
06 June 2008

A smelly bit of fun!

I have to admit, I'm rather envious of whoever wrote the recent children's best seller, 'Who's in the Loo?' (Is it an elephant having a poo?)

I absolutely love it!

Here is my humble contribution to the theme . . .

Cheers!

The Lavatory Man

 

Whenever I feel a need for the loo

No matter where I am

I have a friend – do you know who?

Why no? He’s the Lavatory Man!

 

He’ll take you to the nearest place

Where you can pee or poo

He’ll always look the other way –

He’s so polite – like you!

 

If you find yourself in Italy

Or Spain or Greece or France

When you need a poo most bitterly

He’ll take you on a dance

 

To the closest local convenience

Which may be full of ants

But what a relief to find a place

Where you can drop your pants!

 

Very smelly it may well be

But really, never mind!

Think of what’s in front of you

And what you’ve left behind!

 

Make the most of all you’ve got

Enjoy it whenever you can

Remember our friend that helped you?

It was he – the Lavatory Man!

What a stinker of a poem. I loved it, especially the 'Think of what’s in front of you And what you’ve left behind!'  
 
Brilliant - appeals to my love of toilet humour.

I can tell you that children woule be laughing for hours at this particular poem. "A House Full of Smellies" - even the title - caused them to laugh so much the teacher had to shut the door because next door's class couldn't hear their teacher. So, I think you'd have to take them out in a field to read them this. ha ha PS You haven't had a change of profession have you John?

If this ever gets into a book of children's verse you will always be able to tell when the kids get to this poem because they will be squealing with laughter. 
I think you and Josie ought to get together and make your own book of kid's verse.It couldn't fail

:grin The title caught my eye and I just had to read it. This made me laugh out loud so now my brother who's sitting in the next room thinks I'm mad. May need to make him read this he likes toilet humour more than me. Thanks for the read.
