Most of you weren’t around then In the beginning of PiP the forum We were few and far between Two hundred of us made a quorum Becky always wrote of faith While I used other themes But somehow something clicked with us We became friends, strange as that seems We’d log on to this new internet Post poems for all to read Then we’d chat on ICQ With rather frightening speed We giggled about our addiction To PiP and the feedback here Missing an errant post or reply Was our biggest fear We shared our Olympic methods Of running to take a pee Halfway down the hall, pants down Ran my new friend Becky and me We roared with laughter with each tale Each bigger than the last How we’d race from computer and back Which of us could run that fast Time took it’s toll on both of us Members came and went Becky got a job you see To help with the bills and rent And now she needs her family At home and here on the ‘net She’s a fighter and won’t give up God’s not done with Becky yet She’s got a lot of poetry Stored in her heart of gold To share with us, her family, Until she’s very old She may write of a pink sweat suit Created for the Olympic Toilet Team We’d race view a poem’s reply To fulfill our poet’s dream It’s hard for Becky to smile these days But I know she will one day Until then, let’s cheer her up While we continue to pray ** This is true. I met Becky when she joined PiP and we'd 'chat' on ICQ for hours as we both surfed the forums. We were constantly refreshing our screen to see the replies to our poems and to reply to others. We laughed so hard one night as we talked about running to the bathroom, not wanting to miss anything. We decided we both could be Olympic Toilet Team members as we perfected the art of the undress and run, squat, pee and run back. Those are some of my happiest memories here. Please write something silly or humorous to make Becky smile.Smiling is good for her..and laughter IS the best medicine. Prayers are appreciated of course, but now let’s give Becky something to smile about!!! Please post any humorous poems dedicated to her in Open Forum. ![]() Thank you... |

I don't remember but you told me ![]() Boy when you get inspired, your muse comes out in a rage that is for sure and for a great reason! I will give it a shot and try to write something funny - heck why not a hospital story? Great story and even funnier as it is true! Olympic wizzers, now don't that beat all! |

Becky was among the first To welcome me to this fine roost. But bird, she's not Unless it's Dove White, so fair, and full of love. Funny, no, this poem is not. But it's what came to me, from heart. Get well soon, Becky. And, Sharon, this poem is too true. lol!!!! |

Of course, from those olympic trials sprung the ever revolving posts on which way to hang toilet paper, too... /pip/Forum29/HTML/000178.html Remember, Becky? ![]() |

*laughs* First the poem, then the GREAT debate.. *laughs harder* Oh wow. Becky it seems your friends are here Still pulling for your return When you get back, this toilet dashing I swear I really must learn I have to wonder on your dashes Didn't you ever stumble or fall? Or get all tangled up in pants As you hobbled down the hall? Whats your advice on leaping over obstacles? Do you leap or jump or run around Or kick them outta the way And softly swear outloud? There's others things to learn as well What about negotiating around a lil pup? Well, not so small, but big enough To really trip me up So you see, please hurry back Safe and well and full of ease because THIS TOILET RACING sounds so fun And I'd really love you to teach me ![]() hope all is well with her.

here is my two cents worth....please do get well soon... The dash, the crash, the fall and slide as down the hall the two have flied. A hope to sit before the drip as they jump and merrily skip. Their team is there behind the bush pulling up panties o’er their tush. The toilet was down, did not drain and from that seat they must refrain. The bleachers were filled to the top in hopes that soon it all would stop. A poem was posted, gotta run... Gee, oh mighty, ain’t all this fun? And when the bell did finally ring to end the night of frantic pee they all did jump and run around winning the gold of tinkle and tee |

See, Becky...what Nan said... "those" were the days... Well, heck gal...I think its about time you got off your duff and came back to get some of those days going again! You see, just because we got "bigger" doesn't mean that we can't have block parties and what-not. It's time enough for you to let those angels hanging around kick this "thing" into the heavens, so you can get back to having some fun with your friends. I KNOW it's hard...but you know what? If my brother can do it...you can too! Heck, you're younger and prettier than he is! Becky, my brother went home, finally. It's time for you to go home to your family, too. Listen up, gal... Or I'll have to sic Toerag on ya! |

LOL... You know you've been around a long, long time when you don't even have to follow the link to know what the toilet paper discussion was all about! LOL Those were indeed the days... I remember the rising panic... as the forums grew and I could no longer keep up with reading every single post... but... there are such great compensations... just look at the wonderful gathering of poets we have today! *S* But whatever our quantity, we'll never stop thinking of quality... and Becky is certainly that. *S* Thank you, Sharon... for this smiling memory... and for giving us all a chance to let Dovey know she's loved and missed. *S* |
