Gentlemen Lift The Seat


Gentlemen Lift The Seat

In visiting the facilities one day,
I saw a notice that had me quite beat,
For, there upon the facing wall,
It said “Gentlemen Lift The Seat”.

I pondered this sociological observation -
Its meaning I couldn’t have guessed -
Was it a direct command I wondered?
Or a passive-aggressive request?

What had driven someone to write this?
Had previous visitors created some pain,
By misusing this convenience,
And not respecting the porcelain?

I guess it’s not aimed at the ladies
But it’s them that we’re trying to please
So I suppose it could be much better written:
Could You Men Aim Too?  Please?
