"Public Bathroom Prayer"

Dublin Core

Subject

Description

This artifact is located in the men's bathroom of Sweet Shop, a small cafe on Jefferson Street in Tallahassee, FL. It is written in the only stall in the room with pencil. However this 'prayer' is rather raunchy, it is relatable to everyone and for those who can laugh at 'dirty jokes' may find humor here, more conservative folk might be offended at something like this. Due to the location of the poem (in a bathroom of a restaurant located on a college campus) those who come across this are probably going to get a laugh out of it.
