Outhouse Declared Historical Monument After TikTok Trend

Ma found teens with selfie sticks,
Saying, “This is where the past still kicks!”
Pa said, “That’s where I read the news,”
While Lou filmed reels in cowboy shoes.
Granny charged five bucks a peek,
While goats pretended it was antique.
The preacher blessed it with a flush,
And posed beside it in a hush.
Now folks line up from Austin way,
To snap a pic and sniff dismay.
A plaque now reads “Authentic Seat,”
With hashtags carved in toilet seat.
City kids call it “vintage poop,”
And local cows just laugh and stoop.
So TikTok crowned this outhouse throne,
The Louvre of stink, all ours alone.
