    A loo with a view

    I just came to have a poo
    And stumbled upon a marvellous view
    I see ships and gulls
    And even some sculls
    As I sit on this amazing loo

    Here I am and here I sit
    Looking out at a trawler ship
    I sit and contemplate
    The euros I'm paid
    To dream up poems while having a shytte

    FYI, I am on a very high up floor in an office overlooking Amsterdam's freight port and the architect kindly provided a large window in the bog.

    If you can see out, that means everyone (with powerful binoculars) can see in!

      Here I stand and wave my dong
      Knowing really that it's wrong
      To display my cock
      To the container dock
      And frustrate the seamen who dream of King Kong

          When I lived in Yorkshire a neighbour had a clear window put into her bathroom.

          The window salesman couldn't believe that anyone wouldn't want a frosted window for a bathroom, but the neighbour's comment was that there were only cows out there and a clear window meant she could watch them while perched on the throne.

          The Gents urinals in the Sheffield Crucible Theatre had windows you could look out of while peeing. Once you know that they are there, when passing outside during a performance break you can see faces at those windows...

          ... and if feeling puerile, wave and shout "We know what you are doing".
          Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

              I just sailed back from Normandie
              where the hommes do plop
              and the dams do oui

              where the dukes on his throne
              on a great big frieze
              with a blue and green horse
              and double jointed knees

              where its croutons or moutons
              and a very dodgy tum
              and a basin in le bog
              just for washing your bum

                The football stadium has just been renovated in Stuttgart and they asked the fans for their input. One of the recommendations that was put into place was in the toilets. If you have to go while the match is on, they've kindly put letterbox style slots above the pissoir so you can still continue to watch while peeing. They also did something with the seating which is good but I've forgotten exactly (gosh, a footie team listening to the fans...)

                Women can only watch when washing their hands

                  Good stuff. I see you're taking the surrealist approach.

                    Paris Loo

                    When I worked in Paris, it was very exciting to find that the hotel I was in, when sitting on the throne offered a fantastic view of the Eiffel Tower when leaving the door open.

                    Two months into the gig, I took a trip up the tower and realised it had high powered telescopes that were a few pence to use. I decided to have a peek and found yes, if I pointed the telescope at my hotel room I could see clearly the throne.

                    After that, I always closed the toilet door.
