Toilet Paper

Soft and fluffy, there you are upon your little roll
In your place of honor right beside the toilet bowl
I really do appreciate the service you provide
To the delicate soft region of my tender underside

Without you bathroom life would be a most unpleasant act
It really would be awful when you think of it in fact
Newspaper or magazines would only serve to smear
And corn husks tend to be a little hard upon the rear

People don’t appreciate the fact that you are there
Until there is a need to wipe their soiled derrière
And then you are a most appreciated gift to man
While sitting most undignified upon the local can

The “roll” you play gives comfort to a very basic need
And having you makes potty time much happier indeed
For the most appalling horror that I have ever faced
Is sitting there and seeing that your roll’s not been replaced

Unusual! Superb metre though.
Just goes to show a good poet can find inspiration anywhere!! It may well be a first......after all, everyone can relate to it!
Well done.
