The first incidence of shit writing in my experience was someone writing shit, in shit, on the toilet wall.

“What’s that?” someone could ask.

“Shit,” their friend might have replied.

“I can read, thanks, I meant what is … oh.”

A week later the words “GUNS ‘N’ ROSES” appeared on the same wall. Not spelled out in Guns and Roses, though. Still shit.

Some come here to sit and think, but I come here to shit and stink.

We’ve been sent LITERALLY er…four pieces of celebrity shit writing. So watch out kids, here they come!

*Here I sit smart and artful,

paid fuck all and dropped a cartful.*

Robert Burns, the mens lavvy, Barnton Bar & Bistro, Stirling.

*They fuck you up, sex pests at school.

They may mean to, and they do.

They split your arse without KY,

And give you shitty cock to chew.*

Phillip Larkin again, undisclosed locale.

*Here I sit in stinky vapour

Cause someone stole the toilet paper

Should I stay, should I linger

I will be forced to use my finger*

Joe Strummer, spotted Helena College, 2005

And finally…

I dunno what they do in India probably sqot on the floor or sumfink.
