There are things that help distinguish
modern living from the past.
Some are just so common
that we think they’ll always last.
We really take for granted
most all the simple things.
We never stop to appreciate
the convenience that they bring.
Things like running water, food, and pop.
Including paper that we use to clean
after our common bathroom stops.
We take them all for granted;
we seem to forget quickly,
that without this useful product
we can become quite sickly.
But one thing we learn early on:
what goes in cannot all stay.
The things that we eat and drink
Will revisit us in a way.
With cleanliness next to godliness
And hygiene on our minds,
No sticks, moss, or leaves,
to clean our soiled behinds.
We are all used to special paper
to cleans the residue
around the delicate area
from which we take a poo.
When that paper is not available
due to madness in our aisles,
we worry how to be hygienic
at least for a little while.
So, we’re headed to the bathroom
with fear deep in our heart,
hoping that the rumbling we feel
is nothing but a fart.

If you enjoyed this, I have a book available on Amazon/Kindle entitled: "Curmudgeon Rhapsody" that contains lots of "stuff" like this along with much more. Any and all royalties go to research into and support for patients & caregivers of patients with Multiple System Atrophy - the disease that killed my wife at 56 years of age.
