Who Forgot To Flush

       Twelve people have entered so far,

       In the bathroom with hardly a hush.

       When it finally gets around to my turn,

       My question is, 'who forgot to flush?".



       Everyones' face looks so innocent,

       Not one seems to put forth a blush.

       But the one who says, "I didn't do it",

       Is the one who forgot to flush.



       One second is all that would matter,

       One second without any rush.

       One second would solve the big problem,

       The problem of who forgot to flush.



       Now remember the next time you forget it,

       After six beers and one orange crush.

       Just reach for the tiny silver handle,

       Don't be the one who forgot to flush.

I worked for an engineering firm many years ago, and worked with no less than 16 men.  Honestly, this seemed a neverending thing with me...the toilet flushing.  I posted this poem on the   wall and everafter...the problem was solved.....lol
