skip-to-your-own-loo

by Emily G Myers

for days now
you've been skipping-to-my-loo
i haven't minded
but you're starting to
change my loo
and my loo
isn't ready to change for you
so from now on
you can skip-to-your-own-loo
my darling

Author's Note: wading through poesie poems... this is one of the few that made me smile rather than wince so i thought i'd put it up. and hey, chris sorrenti commented on it back it poesie... so it can't be all bad. :)

LOL! And I'm going to comment on it here too. Say, what's a loo anyway??? I must have heard this song/phrase numerous times, like so many others, without paying much attention to the meaning. I like how you've picked up on that and added your own touch and update to the song. Well done Emily!

emily, this is great. and it inspired me to look up the origin of the song. i messaged it to chris, as well. hehe

it's an old scottish song where 'loo' means love. so, that's one interpretation hehe also often regarded as a square dance song, so it might even just be referencing the action of dancing, or 'skipping to,' my 'loo' - love.
