Our Bowl 1924-1999
October 17, 2020
you were there
when we needed you
that’s more than I can say for most people
an original
75 years – came with the house, they say
now you sit in the alley
waiting
for that great toilet reaper
to sweep you and those 75 biodegradable years away
i try to imagine
what you went through
and what went through you
Rob Prince – 1999
(a poem – I guess you can call it that – I found among old papers)

Very good poem, that old boy deserves a lot of praise for putting up with so much shit.
Only you could write an ode to a toilet bowl . . .
That’s what it was
fun
