Who among us does not have personal experiences with those small but important little buildings that go by many names – outhouses, privies, porta-potties, johns, loos, cans, crappers, thrones, and many more? And who has not heard or shared their own funny tales about those adventures?

“I got chuckles galore from your clever well-spiced rhymes. Your outhouse tales will stir lots of fun memories for many of us who’ve had ample experience with those little casas out back.” Art Banta, author of King Arthur and His Ribald (K)nights
Also here is a set of poems by author Tom on subjects other than outhouses that will trigger more laughs. And finally, here are some classic centuries-old poems about adventuresome outhouse experiences written by authors James Whitcomb Riley, Robert Service and yes, some tomes Shakespeare himself spouted off (sort of).

WHAT MORE OUTHOUSE FANS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS BOOK
“As a young Indiana farm boy, I have fond memories of the old outhouse we had on our family farm in the 40’s & 50’s with its Sears Roebuck catalog—and some not-so-fond memories. Looking forward to seeing Tom’s completed collection of stories & poems.” Tom Smith, Indiana Educator-Farm Boy.
“A delightful read! If ever there was a reason to praise the outdoor privy, Leech’s anthology of clever quips, quotes, poems and dirty little ditties sets the standard!” M. Lee Buompensiero, award-winner author of Sumerland.
“A whimsical journey to a different kind of nether world. Naughty fun!” Gered Beeby, author of Dark Option
“Who knew the loo was a locale for lyricism? Author Leech plumbs the privy for lively limericks that will keep you tickled while you while away the minutes—or hours. An absorbing diversion for one and all.” PJ Adams, author of Freud’s Revenge and Intoxicating Paris
“Limericks have long been a treasured art form, and Tom Leech’s new book brings the most ordinary events in life into focus in Titillating Tales from the Outhouse. Leech, a California writer whose roots are in rural Indiana, rhymes and riffs in the great tradition of Ogden Nash or even William Shakespeare. Delightfully funny.” Phil Oakley, author of The Morello Family: Pin Raids and Telegraph
