This came about after reading that Japan is moving towards Western style toilets in anticipation of the Olympics, and also with recent articles here in the local press about the benefits of one over the other. Enjoy!
Hell with the cool features, I want clean
Don’t care about design, give me hygiene
Forget the required etiquette
To use a high-end bidet
I have more basic things to ask
Before I get on to my task
Sit or squat
With questions I’m wrought
Wash or wipe
With doubt I’m fraught,
There’s so much debate, so much thought
It makes me quite, quite distraught
That so much opinion is sought
That argumentative online battles are fought
That so much angst it has brought
A simple everyday job on the pot
So, Asian or Western, what’s the correct code
For the mornings on the commode
Tell me quick, I might explode
Oh wow…. ha, ha!

I’d say the intensity of pressure would be inversely proportional to the number of choices your mind can narrow down to! π

To squat or to sit,
Who gives a shit?
If you find a solution
To the dilemma of ablution,
Please be sure to share
Coz it’s everyone’s nightmare !

Before I went to take my ease
I read the instructions in Japanese,
There was way too much information
And, may I say, too much bad translation,
So that’s another job I’ve not got around to.
Though it’s something I know I’m bound to..
