TP or Not To Be
By: Charles Giuliano - Apr 28, 2020
TP or Not To Be
When the virus hit
Big time
Panic buying
Shelves wiped clean
So to speak
Hide and seek
Of toilet paper
Canned goods
Other essentials
Even during
Senior hours
Yikes what to do
Royally screwed
Up at crack of dawn
Went on a roll
That is to say Amazon
In utter desperation
Among other items
Ordered TP
On a slow boat from China
Shit out of luck
In every sense
Two months late
More than a dollar short
It finally arrived
Then quarantined
Suitably sanitized
From China after all
Belly of the beast
Suitable for boutique
Small and sweet
Scented and organic
Such a sight to behold
Long since we
Found backup
Fought another senior
Near to fisticuffs
Tooth and nail
Snatched two packs
Playing it rough
Our precious China paper
Backup of backup
Future birthday and holiday
Gifts colorfully wrapped
Arguably when immersed
Suitable for tea
Scent of Jasmine
With accents of apricot
Then swipe and wipe
Fit for the Queen
With surgical precision
Made the right decision
