TP

 

Essential tissue to which we cling

Paupers, scholars, queen and king

Accessory to digestive cycling

 

Prime item as shopping lists appear

Fear of no t p to clear our rear

 

Selecting this item is not a simple deed

Softness, size, texture and price to heed

Plethora of choices confuse the need

 

One thing in common, this sorrowful sound

Sad moans of dismay if no new roll found

 

Vulnerable indeed with dire urgency to go

Out on a hike or skiing cross country in snow

Fallen leaves are useful, though tasked so low

 

Public restrooms can be the nightmare worst

Upon entering,  check for  t p  first

Oh my! I absolutely adored this! I'm still laughing! This is amazing. Such a good take on the toilet paper, all common thoughts that we've shared in a very hilarious rhyme setting. I particularly loved the third stanza about selecting the perfect toilet paper. Brilliant and wonderfully simple!

lol and might I suggest:

"In the developing world, a few sheets rolled
are well worth their equivalent weight in gold!"

unusual theme, good skill, great fun. thanks!

I liked it, humorous and intelligent at the same time.

Wise words, delivered as though Shakespeare were scrawling grafitti upon a bathroom door..!

"T P or not T P? That is the question."

[Ferg]

this is hilarious! the contrast of the "high brow" poetry with the crudeness of the subject matter is fantastic.....and the subject is universally appealing (or unappealing, as it were) so as to make the poetry accessible to anyone. Fun writing!

[Wicahpi]

LoL this is quite the poem of necessity!
Delightfully crafted with humorous tone.
Well Done!

[Gandré]

what a delight.
Meaning + poetry + pleasure of reading it loud > truly something I will come back and read. I keep it in my library.
