[hometext] => Ever seen the porterloo toilet outside st Pauls Cathedral in London?This is an under visited site. Think the architect must've been having a joke. Poor old Wren would stir in his grave! There is just the odd hint of EM Forster in there, canU spot it?
[bodytext] => The portaloo sits squat defiant in its concrete grey line corner curve line way 11 o’ clock pub doors close and now the emptying of bladders. crude perfunctory the porterloo holds its own captive tinkling congregation while poor pale Alabasta St Pauls looms, in shocked silence unable to get away. Somewhere a pencil drawing of the scene containing my first moments of teenage rapture at the unfolding of this architectural joke is lost. Stolen by a rival A-leval art student or more likely taken by our teacher Ms Curtis who said our headmistress would let her let us draw toilets [comments] => 2 [counter] => 227 [topic] => 7 [informant] => Supercreep [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )
