You don’t know what you value until you’ve had a chance to experience more of the world.
I often encourage the boys to branch out, to go forth, to see what’s around the corner
Because there is so much more.
Growing up in North America I didn’t realize what I was missing.
Cuisine, clothing, history. It’s all out there, waiting to be discovered.
But what really floored me
Is the way Southeast Asia takes good care of Uranus.
Not really astronomers, or space explorers, no spatial moves
But when it comes to keeping things clean in the nether regions
The simple spray nozzle/spigot, nestled not so subtly beside most toilets
Asks nothing, apart from a little bit of water pressure
And in return, grants a world of cleanliness
bestowing upon us the clean where it’s needed most.
Bum gun, we thank you, from the bottom of our bottoms.
Such a clever way to approach the topic.

THIS IS VERY FUNNY on a first (from the bottom) read and yet, I am pretty sure it is real in a bidet sort of way! WHO knew? Well now I do!

Very interesting and funny read. I choose not to use them, even though I’ve lived in Asia on and off for years!

Hahahaha! I read this first in my email, because I follow you, and then came to it today at TWT and read your ‘teaser!’ I am sharing your poem with my husband, who is a huge fan of the little bidet adaptation I got him for our standard USA toilet. He will appreciate your potty humor! (I do too, just can’t admit it.)

I started to giggle part way through as I suddenly got the meaning of your teaser line, but I full on guffawed at your last line: “Bum gun, we thank you, from the bottom of our bottoms.” Bwahaha! Hilarious!

This is interesting. The encouragement to explore the world, the seriousness, tapered down to the cleaning of the loo. Makes your slice very informative. Everything is important. Radutti, you always notice the small but significant details.
