stoujjviue suntribune thursday aug 16 2007 5 longing for days of a house out back or those of you who arent aware ihave aparttime job its an eightmile weekly paper route that makes my feet athrob through wind and rain and sleet and snow this carrier trudges on doortodoor he cant ignore a load meant for king kong on occasions though hes forced to stop for sometimes nature calls so what to do a terrible stew like thwarting niagara falls the town once had the answer not meant for me i know but a wooden shack in our park out back- would allow release to flow but the convenience became a target for vandals dont you see they toppled the poor old outhouse with regularity public works declared theyd had enough the problem was very plain as fast as workers would set it up vandals would pull it down again ropes and spikes a last resort were tried with little luck over it went just like before in the sand the mire and the muck town staff surrendered in disgust their time could be better spent in hauling loads and fixing roads a message theyd been sent old outhouse days are over their use is at an end hours and money wasted the department cant defend the flag of surrender has been raised sad commentary on our time roaming around with jim thomas the little privy of years gone by has reached the end of the line so what are kids supposed to do for parents a quandary as well not to speak of one paper guy what is his fate pray tell a tree a shrub a hydro pole any port in a storm they say for sure a bylaw is in force that would make the user pay but i doubt theres a judge in this fair land whod convict in such a case ltd be a black mark on our town for not providing a place to seek relief the fact remains may ones pace be fast or slow the courts are sure to understand when ya gotta go ya gotta go while some may call it progress to me its a deplorable act to rule extinct and in a blink erase the house out back but remember it i always will while trivial it may seem our outhouse that i cherished so survived each halloween jim thomas is a stouffville resident who has written for area newspapers for more than 50 years pbwaaver t sing works at yorkregioncom we offer an easily
