ma and pa held hands

  3. lol Excellent, once I was at the Expo in Montr eal and the line for the women was so long and there was no one at the men's, and we couldn't wait so i went my cousin (girl cousin) held the door closed for me, then it was her turn, and I stood by the door, and a man came in. He looked at me, went back out, looked at the sin, came back in, shrugged ...went to the urinal next to me and peed (hurrry up i was whispering to my cusing) I was young

  4. Hilarious! One reason I am very careful about fruit, veg and water in other countries. I tend to drink a lot of wine instead... so much safer!

    Glad you enjoyed my potty humor!

    BRIAN,
    Are you saying that TOGETHERNESS can be carried to far?

    LORRAINE,
    Did you sneak a peek?

    KIM,
    You're right--wine is the only way to go when you are in another country...you may not remember much of your vacation, but at least it will prevent some OTHER type problems!

    THINGY,
    Number "one" and number "two" are what this is all about!

  19. LORRAINE,
    I once went into the men's room and a woman was coming out of there...she told me I was going in the wrong door! The moral is: NEVER BE TOTALLY CONVINCED THAT YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT ANYTHING!

    PAT,
    As one who has been there, I dedicate the following poem to you:

    In the dead of winter
    When your ass is numbing
    You'd give anything
    For some indoor plumbing

    ReplyDelete
  20. Love it, Tim! Good to have some humor served up in the pub.

    ReplyDelete
  21. What fun read... happy tuesday ~

    ReplyDelete
  22. Good one, Tim-- if you read my post at Loquaciously Yours, you will see that I did not go gently into the good night; join me on Friday's at my Blogger blog. xxxj

  23. Welcome to the pub, my friend--I'm not sure if Brian has the indoor plumbing hooked up yet, so your poem comes in quite handy. I cracked up, as usual, at the innuendo in the first, but I have a naturally twisted mind. The hand holding--I pass on that dude.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Lol Gosh, I must be old, I can just about remember the old outhouses. Hole in the seat and no flush! Sheesh!

    ReplyDelete
  25. BRIAN,
    Building an outhouse ain't as bad as tearing one down!

    VICTORIA, HEAVEN, DAYDREAMERTOO:
    When people speak of the good ol' days, I don't think the outhouse is what they have in mind!

    JEN,
    I will join you then!

    JOY,
    Gee, so far no one is in favor of the hand holding!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh, this is hard for me. Not sure I want any of those visuals, lol...Some things are better not imagined :) You are a funny one!

    ReplyDelete
  27. LORI,
    The visual wouldn't be as bad as one of the other five senses that would come into play here!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Love that last stanza...what a great opening for d'verse poets pub grand....a two seater...we had one too...and you gotten love those catalogs...bkm

  31. holding hands...now that's love. Actually we (wife and I) have some of the best conversations while one of us is sitting on the can and the other on the edge of the tub. TMI....did I say that out loud?

    ReplyDelete
  32. They're all clever. The second one is both funny and disturbing. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Clever and satirical - perfect senryu. Maybe we should cover this in form..as an accompaniment to the ubiquitous haiku. Enjoyed these. Thanks for coming and linking. Gay

  34. BKM,
    The old Sears catalog...wonder if the publishers ever envisioned what its most popular use would eventually be!

    SHEILA,
    You don't want to get me started on them peaches again...LOL

    MINDLOVEMISERY,
    If I've made you smile, my job is done!
    (For the moment.)

    PARENTHETICALLYSPEAKING3d,
    Good luck, and hope everything comes out okay! (Actually, I've never been able to get THAT familiar with anyone...lol.)

    POEMBLAZE,
    Disturbing, I'll say! (Is that why I'm disturbed?)

    BEACHANNY,
    Thanks for all you are doing!

    ReplyDelete
  35. This is so cute and so funny. The image of the two seater outhouse has cracked me up. That is priceless. Your humour is always a delight!

    ReplyDelete
  36. SELMA,
    Thanks so much...the two-seater was the deluxe model...sort of a status symbol for us down on the farm!

    ReplyDelete

  38. Somehow, I get the feeling there are more from where these came from. And when I read that sentence back to myself, I just cringed a little bit. Cute stuff, Tim.
