Come to think, its probably a wee nugget of something else that blocking the bog - plunge on!

Dear Ann, Thank you for your comment. Your piece for this competition is a lot more poetic than mine is. Are the 3 Stooges well-known (or even known at all ?) in the UK? And, more importantly, would the judge at the Spectator likely know who they were?
One of the first 3 Stooges films, back in the mid 1930s was entirely in rhyme, and I had seen a tape of it recently. So, I got this idea of them being the witches in Macbeth. The substitution of a toilet for the cauldron is a natural.
I don't know how the Speccie judge will react to the stage directions, if he/she is not a Stooges fan.
