Sanitation

In sanity did Kublai Khan
A stately pleasure throne decree.
Where else could secret river run
Without distaste of everyone
Down through the sewers free?

Twice five miles of fertile ground
With pungent odours girded round...

Toilet humour, I'm afraid. I don't know why I keep thinking of cisterns. If I find out, I'll say so in the next post.
