Tales From The Outhouse (Lyric) by -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I.

Once more against our lower'd breeches, The Outhouse shows its mettle. Fearing not our plumpen'd peaches, Tho 'gainst its hide they settle. Where stainèd flesh meets wooden shack; The two entwined in shame. And ever black 'neath straining crack: The Outhouse is its name. Perched upon a reeking pit, Secluded, and alone. 'til such a time as we see fit To grace its lowly throne. Our wails bestain the swollen night, Beset in wooden frame. Where falling shite Betrays our plight: The Outhouse is its name. Coilings plummet unto earth And wallow in the sand, As buttocks spend their shilling's worth Upon the lacquered land. And tho' our bow'ls be filled with sin, 'tis better that we aim With filthy grin, Into the bin: The Outhouse is its name. Beastly howls! What hell hath come!? Who toils 'pon midnight's bell!? 'tis only Father Blunderbum Who isn't feeling well. As preacher duels in tug-of-war He plays a deadly game - With thund'rous roar, Falls through the floor: The Outhouse was its name.

no, I'm not standing up for the regulars. Nobody needs to stand up for DA, he's like a fucking descendant of Oscar Wilde. I'm pointing out that there is a tremendous amount of skill with language demonstrated here that you, or I, or most would find difficult to equal irregardless of whether we were writing about logs of shit or the frangible beauty of first love in springtime in Paris.

Oh, and just for the fuck of it I was also amusing myself by embedding the name of the form of this pome (it does have a name) in my comment.
