Graffiti alla tedesca

Lavatorial graffiti come in all varieties: political, sexual, scatalogical. And always, if they are good, impossible to share with your maiden aunt Mary. Here's a positively rabelaisian one from my German period,

In diesem Hause wohnt ein Geist,
Der, diesem der zu lange scheisst,
Mal kraeftig in die Nille beisst.
Mich, aber, hat er nicht gebissen -
Ich hab'ihm auf dem Kopf geschissen.

So great to see you back, Jake! Though I had to wait to be prompted, since I despaired every time I checked without success!

I made tallies on the wall.

Great to see you too, Mary. Rumours of my death were greatly exaggerated. "There's a dance or two in the old dame yet", as Mehitabel used to say.
