High Brow, Sophisticated Poetry

I wonder.... if the Bard perhaps

completed Hamlet

on the chamber pot;

And did perhaps Moliere compose his farces

on the lieu?

Did Wilde write of passion and propriety....

in the little boys' room

(no pun intended)

Did Lord Byron write of romance in the water closet?

Did Whitman sing of himself

in the outhouse?

Or Kerouac contemplate the road

on a toilet at a rest

stop.

This, I wonder....

as I write and flush.
