We men are maligned by the distaff sex,
We are never considerate enough.
At the top of the list of things that upset
Is how we leave that darn seat up!

I must admit, we should be more polite,
We should return the seat to its place.
Especially when it's late at night,
And we don't want a light in our face.

Guilty as charged, we men confess
We forget the routine of your ways.
How you stumble and grumble in your nightdress
And don't check for the seat in its place.

AH!  Are we the only ones guilty of this?
I think not, please let me expound.
The love of my life has oft been remiss
In where my seat will be found.

Guilty as charged, I wish she'd confess,
She forgets the routine of my ways.
How I leap into the car totally reckless,
And don't check for the seat in its place.

My knees bang the wheel, I let out a scream
My back cries out with a cramp.
It's not the same as the bathroom scene,
The pain's much worse than the damp.

Lorelei is petite, just five foot two
(Her legs are not long enough).
When she drives the car, after she's through,
She leaves that darn seat up!

Hey turnabout is fair play..........neither done on purpose...so what the heck !  But if this continues I'd suggest you see a marriage counselor....I understand there's a good one right here at Passions.....A Dr. Michael Balladeer I believe..I just know he can help, I have a feel for that sort of thing!   Keep your seat down and have a nice day!

LOL.....I recognize the problem.....but its my hubbie and kids who caused this problem as they always changed the seat. If they leave it the way I like to sit....well there wouldn't be a problem at all....right.

loved they way you mentioned the seat

ROFL... I love this, Long John!!! *G* You'll probably remember that I had foot surgery just a couple of weeks after I bought my car and my sister used the car while I was housebound... and when I finally got to get behind the wheel again, I wondered what monstrous mistake I'd made... until I adjusted the seat to fit my long legs instead of my sister's (she ALMOST has to sit on telephone books to see out! LOL) Now it's the car's leak that reminds me of my mistake in purchasing it. LOL Thanks for the grins, sailor!

Thanks everybody!  I knew you would see things from a male perspective!  We men are so often maligned for our innocent ways *naive eyes blinking*

Okay..I admit it!   I'M GUILTY! but you'll never catch me! NA! It especially annoys my husband when I borrow his truck for any reason at all. I adjust everything in there to my comfort, and when he gets in he has to fix it all.   CUTE POEM! I sure miss your posts.

LongJohn, on behalf of men everywhere I thank you for this stirring and emotional defense of what we actually go through, without complaint, at the hands of unscrupulous and unfeeling female counterparts. They shall never experience to torture of crushed sensitive body parts by a steering wheel yet they spare no opportunity to chastise us because they are too lazy to look before flopping down. Men everywhere are in your debt and you deserve a 21 toilet seat salute!

Hehe    this is hilarious!!!  
We have a little poem posted above our toilet that says:

Lower the lid
There are ladies present
And a wet behind
Is most unpleasant!

here's the truth
i didn't read it
because my cats eyes are scratched or something....
don't kick me, ok? i'm sorry
i'll be back to read it, i promise!!!!!!!
but it's just so great to see your name on here
i had to reply....
i can't read anything right now because
this feline can't see past trying to figure out
something clever to say  so i give up and
it seems, i can't use my usual icon because apparently  it's already being used........
and since i wouldn't wish being used on anybody, maybe i'll design my own icon
or maybe it doesn't matter
because it doesn'h................

but i'll be back to actually read what you wrote....
i just wanted to tell you that
it's purrrrfectly wonderful to see you again
and i guess you're not kicking pussycats  any more???
which is probably  a a good thing

hope you're well
please tell susan hello
and know that i'll be back to read this very soon
i will!! lol!!!!! as if you really care but
if you don't care, there's always apathy...

why would i post a comment
to a poem i haven't read???
good question...
i'd be leery and beware of me if i were you!!! i might have CLAWS!!!!!

but just to let you know, when i can
eventually read it, i'm sure this pome will be
mewwwwwsic to my ears!!!!!!!

just don't KICK me for  
pandora's CATonic stare...... lol!!!!!!

thanks...    


beware pandora's box...

Ok Mr LngJhn I can help settle this. First off since the little lady is "little" she should be able to keep the seat forward in the car and you could get in slowly and move it backwards when you drive. It's easier for big strong man to move the seat back, than dainty lady to pull seat up.
Now Mr too lazy to put seat back down on commode, go build yourself an OUTHOUSE and you can go outside to enjoy the other ANIMALS.
P.S. Nice to see you back in the ZOO!!!!!

ROFL ... point poetically taken and duly noted in the memory banks LngJhn. I smiled with understanding when I saw where you were going ... I'm another 5'2" guilty spouse with this bad car seat habit, although I do try to yell "Seat's forward!!!" a fraction of a second too late.  

Wonderfully fun read, much enjoyed!  

Best wishes,
/Kit
