Wrong John Or Not?

Wrong John Or Not?
By Larry R Linille

I entered a restroom the other day.
No one screamed and I heard no one say
“You’re in the wrong place, you’re not a girl!”
So I didn’t have to turn and whirl.

I noticed as I looked everywhere
there was no white urinal hanging there.
There was a green door to one lone stall.
Didn’t know if I should laugh or bawl.

I stumbled back and opened the door
to check the sign before doing more.
Printed on the sign was the word “Men”
so I confidently went in again.

I did my “duty” and washed and dried
and walked out with a face full of pride.
Once more I’d avoided a great fear
although it seemed I’d come very near.

Somebody smiled at me as they quipped
that I should know my pants were unzipped.
I made the adjustment just as I should
and ran out the door as quick as I could.
