While traveling to a town near-by
I stopped into an inn
to pass the time, and eat some food
and maybe meet a friend.
The atmosphere was lovely there
the place was nice and clean,
the food was good, and nicely cooked,
prime rib, real raw and lean.
Dessert was brought upon a tray
with choices far too many,
I polished off 2 apple pies
my stomach sure had plenty.
I’d cleaned my plate, then left a tip
the bathroom stop was next,
I searched the place from front to back
becoming quite perplexed.
I finally went out to the front
and stopped the waitress there,
I told her if I coughed or sneezed
I’d need new underwear.
She looked aghast, then pointed me
to a sign upon a chair,
it said the bathroom was not done
it’s state was ‘disrepair“.
I gasped and headed out the door
looking for the nearest tree
I tripped out on the sidewalk
for all in view to see.
The lesson of this story is
when stopping at old inns,
make sure you read the signs they have
before the urge begins.

Love the description of the old inn and the food. I could certainly sympathize with that urge and I hope you were able to find an alternative!

Thank you 'judyjudyjudy' - actually I made this up...lololol....
but I have been in 'situations' when I was pregnant and needed to find a bathroom FAST - and the places we stopped didn't have one!
.....and once at Disney World, the lines were SO LONG, that alternatives would have been greatly appreciated...lol....
Glad you enjoyed this.

OOPS I got cut off... Which does not rhyme though it flows well enough to carry off the apearance of rhyme Thank you for entering my contest

This was really funny. I don't think there's a person alive that can not identify with awkward situation. Great rhyme and flow, spot on with the exception of the first verse which does not rhyme though it flows well enough to carry off the apearance of rh

Thank you so much 'BluesMan' - I am so pleased you enjoyed this.
Nope, it's not fun at all when you head for a bathroom that is not there!
I know the lst verse was off a tad - 'inn'/'friend' - couldn't come up with a substitute to say what I wanted to, and figured it was close - that counts doesn't it????...LOL
anyways......glad you enjoyed this; I had fun writing it.

VERYGIGGLESWORTHY !!
A great fun piece ! ... It makes a change to read some light hearted verse with a smart delivery and a closing punchline.
Good rhyme scheme and pace.
SMART stuff to 'warm the cockles of me eart' !

Oh my goodness
I think I was there once myself hahahaa Once in New Orleans we had hit a few places and then I had to go really bad and we went into a fancy restuant called OBrians well I asked where the bathroom was and the lady replied no meal no deal and she walked away so i couldnt wait so I said
I guess here is as good as any place and began to squat and that woman liked to have had a heat attack but it didnt take her long to show me where I could go hahahah we laughed and laughed about that
