Ode to Zed:

This is genuine loo poetry
It got written on the bog
It?s the forth time that I been today
I must have ate a frog

There was a time long ago
When once a day was it
But now that I am older
All I seem to do is s??t

Guess it?s better to go
Than not to go at all
John Wayne had the same trouble
That?s why he walked so tall

Re: Toilet reading...........

Whatever I happen to be reading at the time. It's a Jeffrey Deaver book, The Stone Monkey, at the mo. Will be Terry Pratchett's latest, Nation, once I've finished that one.

Used to sit on the lav reading for ages when I was younger - I get pins and needles and can't stand up again if I go over 10 minutes these days
