Written on the Wall in the Marion Shore Stall

If you're the type who crudely
writes of piss and farts and doody,
flush it out and get it on
in my tile-floored salon.

Thurber day-dreamed Walter Mitty
Upon this spot while making shitty.

The Arthur Miller Room

Here’s the room where Willy Loman
made his home-away-from-home in.

Oscar Wilde so suave and dapper
sat on this crapper.

Graffiti in Le Suite Philosophique

Here I sit,
broken-hearted.
I strained my ass
to introduce some thought and wit
and make this thread less crass
and more Descarted;
and only farted.

In this bowl Mark Twain
left a stain.

<FONT >here's where e e cummings
clogged up the plumbing </FONT s>

Here's where after taking ExLax, Martial
experienced relief that was only partial.

Here's where Proust, who was fond of his mum,
settled his introspective bum.

Here William Blake
had a stomach ache.

The Umberto Eco Room

Umberto Eco’s post modern nose
was not equipped to name the rose
until he discovered the filthy abbots
and misplaced mirth at prime exhibits
of lecherous clerics who didn’t close
the bathroom door when they used the pos.

The Toilet in the Descartes Room

Caco ergo sum

Old Norse Room

At a banquet so gala
Loki stank up Valhalla.

Here's the bowl Odin
dropped his load in.

This room Thor cleft asunder
when his farts rolled out like thunder.


Help! Someone make me stop!

The A.E. Houseman Room

When I was one-and twenty
I heard the desk clerk say,
"We accept most credit cards
To book your room today.
Use MasterCard and Visa.
We take Discovery.
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me."

When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
"We'll take your check with ID.
Sir, do you need a pen?
But no, we don't take AmEx,"
He said with endless rue.
And I am two-and-twenty,
and oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.
