PERIL IN THE NIGHT!

Sometimes you need to visit the washroom in the night,
You try to be kind and thoughtful, don’t turn on the light,
But what a shock when the seat is up and you fall right through,
You let out a cry, although that’s the last thing you want to do.

Yet there is a greater peril that lurks in dark of the night
When you go to the washroom and don’t turn on the light,
And that is when the lid is down and you cannot see a thing,
Oh, the cry of horror that this situation to me does bring.

So now every night before I go off to sleep in my bed,
I check the toilet seat so in the night I’ll not die of dread.
That’s fine as long as it is not used after you retire,
Then I think I will invent a magic piece of wire.

I have seen seats that slowly lower, will that do?
It’s fine if you don’t have to go when it’s half way through,
If that happens I think I’d use the other down the hall
And hope that in the dark I don’t break my neck if I fall.
