The Panful (A Vulgar, Lavatorial, Prize-Winning Gem)

Have you ever visited a public shithouse
When you were really bursting for a dung
And sadly found the only cubicle
Was vile and ill-prepared to meet your needs,
Its stench beyond your wildest nightmare dread?

And yet you bravely held your breath and looking
Down into the cracked, caked enamel bowl
Beheld a horrid, putrid panful there,
The likes of which you never dreamed you'd find
And live to tell the fucking tale to mortal man.

About a hundred people's lurking turds
All heaped and piled up to the very brim,
Some soft and runny, squashed down by the weight
Of countless others, some smudged with blood
Lying there like half-cooked hamburgers.

And there was barely fucking space in the pan
For you to add a steaming trio of your own
To the rancid, obscene horrors lurking there
As you crouched, puking, with your panties round your ankles
Terrified in case they fell onto the piss-swamped floor.

And you noticed with your reeling senses
That there wasn't any bloody paper either,
Nor had there been for many a long day
Judging from the walls' awesome sorry state
All covered in shitty brown elevens. (SEE NOTE IF UNCLEAR)


NOTE re "Brown elevens" - just visualise how.........

might have found their way onto the wall.........................

    Its much easier to snap one off in the garden then even contemplate public a dunny. I quite liked:
    'Lying there like half-cooked hamburgers.'

      It is indeed based on the whole of Manchester, not only the toilets. Your silver effigy is appreciated.

    crapulent....

    Eloquent in the extreme daaaaaaahling. Did you know that promotion for a toilet cleaner is to be given a brush honey??? This was foetid. Andrex is useless and overcrowded. There are toilet issues at stake here. Or do I mean toilet tissues? Up your bum - no, I should never have said that at all. Ah well, what the fuck. Crapulent means drunk. I'm crapulent. xx chills xx

    This was soooooooooooooooooooo funny, vile but funny, I will never be able to eat a hamburger again without thinking of shit

    About a hundred people's lurking turds
    All heaped and piled up to the very brim,
    Some soft and runny, squashed down by the weight
    Of countless others, some smudged with blood
    Lying there like half-cooked hamburgers.
    That verse did truely gross me out big time, great write though, keep it up, love Romanee, xx

    This was...

    0-0

    this was...

    Absolutely disgusting! ~is now VERY grossed out~

    Yet... strangely funny. It certainly had poetic rhythm but uh.... ~feels the dying need to scrub hands under hot water just from reading it~

    ~cracks up~ This is just flat out disgusting. However, (since I've already read it, I might as well give a full evaluation right? ~washes hands again~), these lines:

    ~~Of countless others, some smudged with blood
    Lying there like half-cooked hamburgers.~~

    This was the most disgusting visual I've had to endure in some time. (0-0) I will never be able to eat hamburgers again, thanx to you! And these lines:

    ~~As you crouched, puking, with your panties round your ankles
    Terrified in case they fell onto the piss-swamped floor.~~

    Since I have been there... Were just damn funny! ^^

    And lastly, these lines:

    ~~That there wasn't any bloody paper either,
    Nor had there been for many a long day~~

    Now, not only could I relate to this far too common occurence (at least in my house) but I loved the word choice! So besides the retching need to throw up and take a shower.... This was pretty funny! Nice work. ^

    Verywondrous my friend

    I know this sounds a bit like the toilet at everyone's local Catholic Church where the priest takes the choirboys for private coaching, but that is not the poem's function. Please think of debauched imagery a la Marlowe.
