Toilet Bowl Philosophy & Toilet Seat Religion
For centuries, millennia, Man has looked for God
& mankind looked to God for rules
for Man to live with Man
And children; when I say Man, I mean us all, you know
old men and boys and girls and mums,
and babes and every ones
Now God is lost, we have no faith nor holy rule of law
No guidance borne of magic tricks;
we find we’re all there is
So let me tell you what I think – the rule should be today:
To others be as you would wish
that they would be to you
And do for others, as you’d wish, that they would do for you
And hope (and only hope it is)
they do do it for you
And so the philosophy of the loo…
I hope you find it clean and safe: I hope you leave it so.
The seat is dry, the rim is wiped
the bowl is fresh and white
The choice is yours – as life presents – depending on the need
there’s brush and bleach and paper or
a soak if you prefer
And even more the good for you, that you went one bit further
– if you can leave it better
than it was left for you
And tell your friends respect the one, the one who’s next to go
Tell them to think it through
and learn the lesson of the loo
Take this thought & make it wide. Apply it to your life.
Think of others, look after things
– the toilet’s just the start!
