It happens this way …
Sometimes levity is the best reaction to today’s news. Here’s the lightest of light verse.
Ode to Toilet Paper
Oh, what enticing names:
Angel Soft, Charmin, Cottonelle,
Green Forest, Quilted Northern,
Scott, Kirkland Signature.
Oh, how comforting:
the feel of softly embossed
flowers and leaves during
my body’s private activities.
Two of your layers clean
more smoothly than paper towels
or the napkins I swiped
from now-closed restaurants.
But, oh, modern necessity,
how you’ve been abused.
Hoarders crushed you
into SUVs weeks ago,
rendering you as rare as
a sunny winter day in Oregon,
a prayer on an atheist’s lips,
the truth on any brand of media.
Let me assure –
in the spirit of economy –
I count out your sheets:
four for #1, nine for #2.
If my calculations are right,
we’ll ride this challenge out,
comforted by more absorbency
with much less use.
Your humor is great! Chuck says TMI. But he also told me to tell you that he can do #2 on 8!😂

That’s our Chuck!
That was hysterical Carolyn!!!
Glad to make you laugh, Joan!
Wonderful, Carolyn! Yes, I find myself using much less as well. Probably a very good thing. We are learning not to take it for granted.
