The Battle Of Waterloo In Rye!
On Tuesday of this week
I spent a few hours
In a community toilet
Drinking
And chatting
No cublcles
Everyone
Was either seated
Or standing
I noticed before leaving
That a group of people
Were about to start playing Cribbage
And it crossed my mind
That this maybe
A raised eye, or two
Within this community loo
If someone declared
One for their nob
Thankfully
This public convenience
Had been conveniently converted
Into a micro bar
Bizarre!
My drink cost me
Four hundred, and seventy pee
Ironically
I couldn't at first see
An actual toilet
But was eventually relieved
In all senses of the word
Found the micro toilet too
A kind of battle of Waterloo!
