Toilet Paper
April 22, 2020
This crisis gave birth to an interesting craze
We folk have gone crazy in all sorts of ways
People are buying about in a daze
Enough toilet paper for hundreds of days
This whole situation is kind of surreal
I’m not sure exactly how it makes me feel
My family and I found new ways of conserving
My mother especially finds it unnerving
We just ordered packs of tp rolls from China
Because there was no other place else we could find-a
Need to start finding a way to unwind-a
You ask me, “are you getting lonely?” – Well kind-a.
I hope this thing does blow over soon
The brightness I once felt has now turned to gloom
And now, as I sit here and write in my room
I hope that the future brings sunshine, not doom
The extent of my sanity begins to taper
The great microcosm of the world’s toilet paper
Great poem, Max! It’s good to find humor even in rough times 🙂
