Wow what a fantastic response to the challenge.
Are there really urinals in public?
Loved the partying and the relief sought and yes I guess he is right.lol

Glad you enjoyed it and appreciated the humour. There used to be quite a few of these in Europe in the old days. I remember one in Paris where the ladies had to walk throgh the men's section to get to their 'powder room'! I think most have gone now. Best wishes, Tony

This is a good poem and it's very creative. I would say you met the challenge and surpassed it. LOL Good job. I can't actually say I find urinals beautiful the the poem is very good.

Like the old old saying, when you gotta go you gotta go. This was very educational too. I loved the France's way of using an old fountain and a metal privcy screen. Boyd

In the USA, Lord help you if the urge comes at the wrong moment. My wife wanted

Excellent response to an outrageous challenge, using potty humor in a not-so-nasty way (I like that). Your word choices are jumping off the page, which adds interest to your rhymes, in some cases, too. Excellent rhyme & rhythm for reading in a playfully prancing way. Love the originality & creativity.

A very well-written Ode, not a daily subject that anyone will tackle. I think you did a great ode about the Unrinal in France, that is an odd idea to have it in public without much privacy.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Well, it does have a certain savoir-faire about it, Tony, if I do say so myself.
These... French pissoirs are definitely designed with men's plumbing in mind, not women's.
Most definitely not for the lovely ladies. I suppose they're just made to suffer.
I feel you rose to 'Gynt's challenge quite well, Tony.
Good stuff, very funny.
Thanks for sharing a laugh today.

You're very welcome, Tony. I had no idea something like this even existed before I read your poem.
Unfortunately, I do now, LOL.

Creative, unique, and full of humor.
Who, in time of desperate need, hasn't sought out a place where you feel better leaving then going (no pun intended)
I like how you took us to different parts of the world, all with the same result.
Relief.
Great job!

Comment from Pantygynt
Whatever this might lack in beauty, and that is quite a bit, it more than makes up for in cleverness and humour. I was pleased to see best of all rhyming with festival as I rhymed those two in a monologue back in 1982.
Pissoir with tower is another good one even if it might make your average French speaker cringe. My German on the othe hand is basic but unless there is some colloquialism involved I would translate urinflasche as "bedpan". Was the Bayerische bier really that strong. Certainly die madchen im Hofbrauhaus were a strapping bunch.
Thank you Tony for accepting the challenge and for giving me a good laugh into the bargain. Thank heavens you never got to Italy.

I enjoyed the challenge. My German's pretty weak, despite having spent a couple of years there with NATO. I think our American friends would have been even more horrified by the concept of a mobile pissoir, in the form of a urinflasche. I had some interesting reviews! I remember the festival brews as being particularly damaging on the one occasion when I went to the Oktoberfest, back in 1965. I understood, too, why 'die madchen' takes the masculine article when I saw them carrying half a dozen full tankards at a time, by no means a case of being diminutive!
-
Ach ja that Hoffbrauhaus. Great strapping wenches carrying fistfuls of litre steins -- wunderbar!. As I understand it. Der is masculine die is feminine and plural regardless of gender.
-
Yes- and being a diminutive, madchen is neuter, das madchen - though they didn't seem altogether neuter to my youthful eye at the time.
-
I could never get the hang of a language that applies gender to inanimate objects and treats a bunch of strapping barmaids as neuter. No wonder they lost the war.
