OK, this is more limerick-ish...

In college, I lived in a dorm with community bathrooms, and evidently some of my neighbors had been remiss in their flushing duties, because this cloying bit of verse appeared on the bathroom wall:

There was once a man so clever,

He made a little lever,

That when you pulled down

It made such a sound!

And your toilet was clean forever.


As sympathetic as I was to the cause, I couldn't let something so sappy go by without comment. So I got on the computer and produced a 'sequel' in the same font & everything:

That lad so dapper,

His name: Thomas Crapper.

We revere him in a curious way;

When one empties his bowels

The bowl he befouls

Still bears Tom's name to this day.

Here I sit plain as ever.
Took a dump and pulled the lever.
The toilet clogged.
The water flowed.
Look out world, it's a mother-load!
