The Loo’s Lament                                                                                                        Sarah Early



                  I’m a loo, and I have feelings.

                  Yes, I have feelings!

                  But I depend on others to function correctly.
                  And so often, they let me down.

                  The cistern gets clogged up,
                  And I get blamed.

                  The plastic regulators are worn down,
                  And I get blamed.

                  The controls for the overflow rust up.
                  Yet again, I get blamed!

                  Hm…
                  Being a loo really ain’t easy.
