Ode to Mr, Crapper's fine invention, the unsung hero of our lives. Badly sung by yours truly.

Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
How lovely are your flushes.
Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
We clean you with our brushes.

We sit and think, on your cold seat,
Cause if we stood, we'd wet our feet.
No matter what comes from our rear,
You always make it disappear.

Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
How lovely are your flushes.
Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
We clean you with our brushes.

The truth be told, we love you Jon!
Cause when we flush, you make it gone.
Hard or soft, yellow or brown,
Down it goes with a gurgling sound.

Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
How lovely are your flushes.
Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
We clean you with our brushes.

But somethings wrong, now I declare,
It spins around, but it's still there.
I better get my credit card,
Or I'll be going in the yard.

Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
How lovely are your flushes.
Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
We clean you with our brushes.

The plumbers here, now I can breath,
You will be working when he leaves.
What he did, I do not care,
I gladly pay for the repair.

Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
How lovely are your flushes.
Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
We clean you with our brushes.

Oh look at this, it's something new,
That little tab makes your water blue!
I truly love my Jon again.
He really is a mans best friend.

Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
How lovely are your flushes.
Oh toilet bowl, Oh toilet bowl,
We clean you with our brushes.

Sorry, I don't know what came over me, but I'm sure it will pass. And when it does, my friend Jon will take care of it for me!

This is quite a load of poem! I actually launched my false teeth (I don't really have false teeth!) across the room, and now they're hanging off the drapes, I laughed so hard! Excellent!

Are you feeding me a load of crap, or did you really like it?

Have you no shame? Will you dive into almost anything?

If you forget to drop the seat, your cheeks may flush!

OMG, it is hard to type while laughing!

Great Job Bob!

I did set it to a song, if you know it, it fits pretty good. Look at it again and see the summary.

I laugh so hard I had to visit my toilet bowl. As I was relieving myself, I found myself humming this. I love the humor you aloud us readers to share with you. I'm going to read more.

Writing is life so keep writing.

I love that saying. Thanks for visiting. Me and Jon. I'm relieved you liked my little movement in C-major. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after reading.

"Hi, it's TwoStepz house toilet and I would like to tell you your poem is a very nice piece of work. For everytime I have been flushed, I have sent a message to every other toilet to read this piece of work. It seems that you appreciate us toilets a lot more than most humans do! Sometimes they don't even clean us with brushes (don't worry, TwoStepz does)! But still, a wonderful poem and thank you for caring for us toilets!" ^^

See? My toilet likes it too;D!
This made me laugh, just like the rest of the commenters! What other time of year do songs come out so we can mock them?
You should do an edit of the annoying pop song 'Friday'! Though listening it will make you want to shoot yourself in the head, I'm pretty sure you'll make a perfect mockery of it!x

Hey! My toilet knows your toilet! Jon says they came off the factory line together, and it was a match made in heaven, but, alas, it was not meant to be. For a brief amount of time, their waters spun as one, but they had barely began to explore their love when they were separated, shipped to other parts of the country, parted but not apart, for all waters flow to the sea. And Rebecca Black is the devil!

Okay, now if anyone had told me I'd find that so bloody funny I wouldn't have believed it and I hesitated to click on it so I could read. Despite some squeamish seconds, you are a funny funny man, and if you can make that stuff funny? Nonpareil, bud.
A classy toilet poem. I lived long enough to read it.
Wonders don't cease. Don't you, either.
Best regards, Wilbur

Yeah, my wife wouldn't even read it! I sang it to her and she cracked up, then said I was ruining Christmas songs, she didn't want to think about this whenever she heard the original. Did you hear the audio? I sang it while I was... never mind.

It may not be warm and fuzzy, and it will never chase a ball, but it's always got our backs, and that's got to count for something. Really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for dropping in, er, well, you know what I mean.

I think you wrote this one after too much christmas cheer. It is heck-a funny if you can stop yourself from visualizing your imagery to vividly.

Thanks, I think!

Nah, I really did like it. It bowled me over!
