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?
