Looking for a little wit

I'm having a wedding reception and a baptism reception at my house this weekend. The wedding will have about 40 guests and the baptism about 60.

Here's the lowdown:
My downstairs guest toilet is finicky, and needs to be flushed twice (or at a minimum users should hold the handle down until...ahem...everything's gone)

Help me make a snarky sign to post in the restroom. The last thing I need this weekend is a flooded bathroom at these events.

John, I'm thinking a limerick or a series of funny haiku that get the point across?

Prize for the best one left in the comments!

Water flows slowly
Remnants struggle to remain
Press handle firmly

SECOND FLUSH: Apply directly to the toilet!

There once was a toilet at Jen’s
With an annoying, persistent trend
The deposits will stay
And not go away
Unless you flush over again

I like them all
I think Susan's haiku should say "Remnants struggle but remain"
Nevertheless, brilliant
There is always the classic "flush twice, it's a long way to ...(McDonalds, Wash DC, my mother-in-law's house, etc.)

if you still remember the Roto Rooter jingle:
"For Roto roter, I'm not payin'
So flush 'til your *&%$ clears the drain"

I agree with John and sign off on the change from "to" to "but" (or butt).

Probably few of your guests recognize Deep Purple lyrics http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/deep+purple/hush_20038799.html
FLUSH - by DEEP POOPLE
Flush, flush
You flush it once and some'll still remain, now
flush, flush
A broken toilet; you are not to blame now
Flush, flush
For number one, be sure to watch your aim now
Flush, flush
For number two, flush twice and light a flame now

Tinkle, tinkle
poop and strain
keep on flushing
or you're to blame
