Putting Down The Toilet Seat
A Stream of Conciousness Poem
There are three men in my office
A third of the professional population
A quarter or less, depending on the day
There is one, unisex, bathroom
Is it so hard to put down the seat?
One is married, and a father of boys,
Does he model this minor consideration at home?
Or assume that as the majority, he should leave the seat up?
Even when, at the office, he is the minority?
One lives alone.
He is more forgivable, it's probably just habit
I don't know about the third, who at least has a girlfriend.
Perhaps they have seperate bathrooms
Is it so hard to flip the seat back down after you use it?
We're busy, too
And it's even odds if the men might need to go sitting down
or standing up.
Either way, it's basic manners.
