Dear John...Mistakenly Named After Sir John Harrington... Circa 1596

WC? Dunny? Jack? John? Crapper?
Toilet? Lavatory? Loo?

Ain't no lack of terms to choose from...
if shitter just won't do.
The fault lies back in history when the "inhouse" was invented
The name that stuck in the USA
was of a man who didn't... invent it.

So thank you, John... ('Tis true, I see)    
just how aptly named ye be...    
and if one must...    
e-vac-u-ate?    
why you are just    
(done properly)    
the truly perfect place    
to be...
