Dear toilet paper,
now that you've flown away from our shelves,
I'm rising above my pride to say, please come back to your shelf,
but this time to be loved, forever.
Your absence
has changed bowel habits
and it's felt around my house
each time I see your empty space.
We know you' been typically forgotten
or kept as a secret, but you've become sacred now or as a gift as delicate as petals,
beautifully wrapped in double sheets.
It makes me sick to my stomach
to think that your friend, " the paper towel"
could replace you, and I pray for it never to happen,
but if it occurs it should be treated as it is,
for matters of the kitchen only!
We all blame covid19 for your disappearance,
but cameras show that people, not this invisible dude,
flooded your world.
Most everything
I need is here and there,
but my rear view misses you, so dearly that I've composed
this charming little prayer because your absence is distinctly visible
and also, a great predictor for our future survival.
Amen.!
