TITLE: Does This Make Sense?

Stepping ever lightly
Lest my bladder should explode,
I dart in the direction
Of the nearest girls' commode.

The line itself- atrocious
As often is the case,
While, across the hall,
No men at all-
Just vacant potty space.

When urgency suggests
Elimination time is near,
I slip away to solitude
Where urinals adhere.

My porcelain encounter
Through a mediating sheet-
Never touching down; my bum
Onto the filthy seat.

Let me tell you-
Aiming of this kind requires skill,
Boys that shot at cheerios,
Have nothing on a girl.

Naturally, thigh muscles
-Having hovered for so long-
Ache to be relieved throughout
The 'water falling' song.

A friendly word of warning
If no automatic flush-
My foot will plunge the doo hickie
And send the golden rush.

At the sink, my deed now done-
sensor soap and faucet.
I wash, I rinse-
Until convinced,
Then paper dry and toss it.

...content...I pull open the restroom door and exit...

I love the humor. A great poem. Not so sure the title fits.

I love it when a poem makes me laugh in the first verse. Your descriptions were priceless I'm not sure if it was totally on the topic. But nevertheless I enjoyed it immensely and could sense the no touching the seat concept.

Great. Funny and well written. Creative Poetry. Must confess I have been using the men's toilet at church lately since there is a big frog in the ladies.

For real....LAUGHING OUT LOUD! This is just too too cute with honesty and spot on descriptions.
Rachel Phelps08/17/10
The humor is awesome in this poem. Too funny!

I think you speak for every woman. lol. What a funny slice of life you have presented here.

Then... there is that doorknob which many of us open with a sleeve or paper towel in our hands. Why defeat the purpose!

It is on topic in regards to touching or avoiding germs.
This was light-hearted, cute and oh, so real.

So well done--funny, and very true-to-life. Great job!
