How Likely Is It To Hear This Subject Three Times In One Week?

I heard a conversation about outhouses at Curves this week then Johnny G. writes about them in his blog. My massage therapist told me about a book she had read about them and was going to let me read it. She couldn't find it so sent me a website where I could vote for my favorite one which I did. Since I couldn't find my picture of the out house at the country cemetary where all my people are buried I borrowed this cute one from helenmit34. So to put my two cents worth in here is a poem I wrote sometime ago.
Santas In The Outhouse

Santas in the outhouse children gotta wait,take another nap kids santas gonna be late.

The reindeer are pawing, chomping at the bits, while looking at the catalog, in the outhouse he sits.

The snow is coming down with Christmas almost here. He'll get out of there in time just never never fear.

Santas in the outhouse its something he's gotta do. He will be out delivering toys just as soon as he is through.


The chimmneys have been cleaned anticipating his red suit,carrying a bag on his shoulder filled with Christmas loot.

Santas in the outhouse, hope he didn't forget the date. Mrs Claus will call him since she is his Christmas mate.

Elves have oiled the runners on the little red sled. The reindeer have been brushed and already they are fed.

The newsmen are at the ready to track him in the sky. Everyone debating do reindeer really know how to fly?

I think I hear the jingle bells, hooray he's finally out, he'll make all the children's houses of this I have no doubt.

Santa was in the outhouse, but now he's finally out. Christmas will go on as usual, he's already started his route.

Jump in bed little children pretend to be asleep, cover up your head you're not allowed to peep.

Santas out of the outhouse, I knew he'd be on time. I just couldn't help myself, please forgive this little rhyme.

Love it Paula! the poetry is great. Our boys like to brag about living in a house with an outhouse when they were kids, but at least they had running water in the house. HA!.
My Uncle had a two holer down in Laurens, SC.

I have never been in a real "outhouse" just porta potty and I don't like those too much. I cannot even imagine having to use an outhouse all the time.

Love the poem!

Cute poem. There's an old country song titled "He's In The Jailhouse Now" and that's the first thing I thought of when I read your post.

i got a kick out of this poem as there are lots of outhouses in my past. You know kids were always falling in the outhouses, well often enough so that when the CCC built standard outhouses and the hole was very deep, all of us kids were scared to death we might fall in it and die for sure. Then watch out for black widows, and oh oh, no paper, the catalog is all used up, do some people really use corn cobs, I used to wonder, and my sisters once gave my husband and me an outhouse party as they hauled one to our ranch, all painted up with giant polka dots! That is my outhouse take on this entry! Gerry
