Who among us does not have personal experiences with those small but important little buildings that go by many names - outhouses, privies, porta-potties, johns, loos, cans, crappers, thrones, and many more? And who has not heard or shared their own funny tales about those adventures?
Here is a book full of amusing and rhyming poems dealing with exactly that subject, from
- How the term "crapper" got its name
- To Jose who rents his portable bano to drivers at the world's busiest border
- To military colonels using two-story outhouses (hmmm... what does that mean to the privates?).
These and more outhouse tales will likely stir some memories and definitely bring on big-league chuckles (and maybe snorts).
Also here is a set of poems by author Tom on subjects other than outhouses that will trigger more laughs. Finally here are some classic centuries-old poems about adventuresome outhouse experiences written by authors James Whitcomb Riley, Robert Service and yes, some tomes Shakespeare himself spouted off.
"Never in my life did I realize there was so much to say about outhouses! From drunken damsels to a triad of escaped convicts to the outhouse adventures of Santa Claus, this book of poems is a delight. It transports the reader to another time and (odorous) place in a deluge of hysterical whimsy. I challenge you not to giggle."
