No, that was actually vintage Jon, and clever use of catharsis/cathartic/Carthage. I think I'm pwned.

That bathroom wall poem he's riffing on*, is old. Steinbeck alludes to it in Tortilla Flat, 1935. I wonder how old it really is.

Here I sit,
All broken hearted.
Went to shit,
And only farted.

In my day the third line was "Paid a penny" which was in reference to the days of public conveniences* where one old penny was required to enter the stalls, one penny being a large amount of money.

No, the third line is "Paid my dime"; "Paid a penny" is a poor localization that doesn't preserve the meter.
