Here is my most recent finish, enjoy
Went wonkey for me, and I backed out.
Nice work !!! I've been keeping my eye on the daisies and I'm looking forward to their finish..

Very Nice Amber , reminds me of the tile my late mother had over her toilet. It was in Delft Blue and had beside the picture of the toilet a suitable poem.

I will probably regret asking this, but, hey, it is a full moon, so what is a "suitable poem" to accompany a picture of a toilet???? Dawne
Dawne Why ask if you already regret it ? it is a suitable poem , to the place where one hangs it .. mirjam
Most of us find that it's funny Whene'er we're ensconced on the dunny To linger for longer To think and to ponder On how to amass some more money!
Ode to the Toilet
O throne of power, throne of mine How chill thy seat at morn When I my quiv'ring bottom set Upon thee and adorn Thy porcelain perfection; Thy plastic roundel rest; Thy cistern of sweet water To flush at my behest.
O Loo! O Bog! O Thunderbox! How shall I write thy name? O John! O Dunny! O S-House! For me 'tis all the same. Thy welcoming enclosure; Thy warm and fruity scent; Thy redolence at dawn and dusk: For comfort thou wert meant!
O powder room, O dunny, O little water closet Where else in heav'n or earth Might we dally and deposit Our every care, our every woe Our sighs and fond endeavour? To thee we raise our voices high And praise thy reign forever!

I did not say I already regretted asking---see above. I suggested I might regret it, since I did not know which way the thread would run. I do not regret it at all, since it lured Trish out of her thinking room to post those amazing Australian odes. But, just my personal taste, I have seen rather coy cutesy poems beside toilets and usually do not care for them. Dawne
Did you notice the alliteration in the first stanza? I was very proud of that! ;->
I was not wearing my literary critic's hat when I read it, but now that you mention it, well done! Dawne
Rather a ditty than those oh so cute, crinolined ladies who cover the spare roll of toilet tissue lol
Here I sit Broken hearted Paid my dime And only farted

Try again, I also got another page when I clicked. Sometimes webshots does some wonky stuff.
Somehow I think your mama would have smacked you for that !
Maybe. But she might also have burst out laughing. One never knew.

Bet there were many times you found out the hard way lol
You mean the little sign the crinolined lady is holding that says, oh so sweetly:
"If you sprinkle, while you tinkle, Please be sweet and wipe the seat."

or crocheted poodles. Actually, if I found one of them at a bazaar I might be tempted to buy it........especially if it was pink. Dawne
"Lucille"
ah yes. That's one of them. Sometimes also on little signs involving teddy bears. Gag. Dawne
