a Tuesday Poem -- Lids up? Lids dowm? Who chooses?

Put 
Lids down
When I'm done 
Look better that way 
Ladies demand that, it's their way 

When I'm away it's different 
Leaving the seat clean 
Best for next 
When lids 
Stay 
Up

Louisiana.   It is outside, around back, and gets my nod for "In need of refreshing."  Click the picture a couple of times to see things up close. It accomodates women and men one at a time.  I try to not touch the lid there.)
 - Fibonacci Poem for Tuesday: 
Syllable length is based on the Fibonacci Sequence (math majors love these, I have a math minor with 21 college hours of math. Differential Equations was my highest level course, though not the last. 
- My "Fib" poem today is 1/1/2/3/5/8 syllables, then I reversed the number sequence after 8 syllables for a 12-line 'poem'.

  2. Now if you lived in the outback you would keep it down. Snakes look for water. Keep it down.

  3. Well, it's down here, but that wasn't my idea. Hubby puts it down and that's that.

    Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ☺

  5. If the lid stays down and everyone forms the habit of lifting only when necessary, then nothing is ever ruined by falling into the bowl.

    (That's an advantage of a modern (dry) toilet that only occurred to me now...coins and jewelry could be saved if they fell in, and even lipstick wouldn't clog the drain!)

  7. LOL - and never mind about hygiene (there is science-to-health to prove it's actually a better thing to keep the lid down etc.) but for sure, it would stop tons of commo ... er commotion and arguments.

    Fun little amusement Jim - to seek the laughter and poetry in the everyday.

  8. Up or down? I have one of those helper seats where the lid is always down. Better hygiene as well. I certainly wasn't expecting a poem about toilet seats today.

    To start the day.

  12. Clean is the most important... I think... but we need to learn how to behave.

  14. You are always so thoughtful! I'm sure Mrs. Jim appreciates the seat being put down at home.
