“ICKY SUBJECT” WARNING!

ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIENTIOUS  TOILETS

I am not trying to be gross…

Consumers need be aware of a host

Of consequences

As a “john” dispenses

More flushes of water than most.

–

Auto-flushing is for good hygiene,

Toilet handles never stay clean…

Of E. coli and germs

The lot of which worms

Into many unhealthy scenes.

–

Yet some may ask what the fuss is…

One “sit down” may cost three flushes,

How things once were done

You’d score… maybe…one,

The water savings at you rushes (!).

–

As in life here we have a choice,

Outwit auto-flushers or voice…

An opinion on which

Is the important glitch,

Which are the more responsible ploys?
