Me & Dr. Seuss© arlene s bice
After dozing over a book at 3 o’clock
I came awake with a sudden shock
drums were pounding loud and clear
pulsing the air, it made me fear
what was going on this lovely day
I leapt to the window to see what may
be causing such a fracas, be causing disarray
my eyes flew wide, my mouth fell away
it was a king being carried high above
the crowd was calm, no push or shove
neatly they walked, the queen was aside
on her own seat of pomp and pride
but this I cannot believe at all
not thrones, but toilets is what I saw
yes, yes, the crowd carried them too
seats of their own, all white, not blue
ahah! I declared to myself, I know that load
of toilets from Goodes Ferry Road
that disappeared some time ago, remember
toilets that hung on the trees even in December
it seemed like a zillion sat on the ground
lay upright and sideways all year ‘round
so this group of royals won the fame
it will be added to that reigning name
they absconded with the funds
and showed everyone their buns!
PS: there really was a large collection of toilets in a small wood on Goodes Ferry Road
