Whatever Happened to the Outhouse?
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE OUTHOUSE?
Whatever happened to the Outhouse,
With the seat all rough and cold!
The one that had the roughly hewed door,
With the latch that would never hold!
And there replacing the Charmin,
Was yesterday’s Daily News.
To be utilized to its fullest
And not to be abused!
I often long for those days gone by,
When I have the Monday blues.
Even if it did require
Using yesterday’s Daily News!!!!!
About this poem
