Ich Bin Kein Dukatenscheisser

* Ich Bin Kein Dukatenscheisser *

The words above my grandpa said
I brought to mind when I had read
A German toilet paper’s sold
Embossed with24-karat gold
Strong, yet soft; 6-layer thick
To wipe away what had to stick
Two versions only at this time
I wonder which I’d choose for mine
An Alpine rose embossed in gold
Or Happy Birthday both are sold
But I’m content with my 2-ply
And here is just one reason why
The price it seems a little steep
Or maybe I’m a little cheep
Converted to my currency
Two hundred fifty bucks each be
All to do what way back ages
Grandpa did with Sears’ pages

*I don't s**t money

Uncle Mike

Where have you been lately? Have not seen you lately. We need too start a virtual zoom poetry revisited.
