The peaceful whiteness calms my soul

As still I gaze into this bowl

which swishes, sloshes, flushes down,

the toil and trouble which abound.

I heave my soul from deep within

while gazing into porcelin.

Sin really doesn't pay, does it? But it's good to know that we can be forgiven.

What is the 'loo'? Do you live in England? MaryLu

the loo= the toilet, from NZ

the Loo is actually a small in cohesive device for the magnification and supplication of conspicuously magnanimous watershed economical powerhouses.
