Julius Caesar

Hail! Hail!
I, Julius Caesar of Rome;
am your toilet.

Go ahead -
Jiggle the handle
and watch the floods rise;
spinning in a whirlpool.
A small warning:
my debris might be
treacherous.

Careful!
My gargling waters spit -
regurgitating filth
on your small colonies
and glorious kings.

So take heed,
and watch where you sit.
For I am Julius Caesar!
You're great Emperor of Rome -
and your toilet.
