Trigger finger blues

Don't get crapped on

Oops Just clicked on a pay per click ad

For portable loos

A gift to be had

So now I know I'm about to be swamped

By trashy ad banners for portable bogs

Brits clamber

They will all try to say

To buy plastic portaloos

So do not delay

Or you will regret it

And you can be sure

Your neighbours will tell you

You will be in awe

Of their fabulous portable

Flushable toilets

Their outside receptacles

For voided food titbits

Their highly respectable

Transient toilets

So heed my advice if you want to be sure

Of not being dumped on by adverts galore

When you open a browser on laptop or cell phone

Don't click on that 'news' story

Leave it alone

    😂 This gave me such a laugh, who knew portable loos could inspire poetry!

    What a great tip but just think you could have a new parttime job or your own outhouse for use.

    I wanna know who sees an ad for portable toilets and suddenly realizes they need to buy one. It isn't exactly an impulse buy kind of thing, is it?

    Been there done that, hope your scrolling isn’t too “shitty”

  • Hahahahahahahahaha this is so true and relatable! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    So funny and true, Raymond. We've all been there. Like, how many gas stoves do they think I need if I checked one out?

  • Been there (clicking and those sort of loos) 😁
