Paper Or Plastic
~~Paper or Plastic~~
I went to the doctors the other day
an embarrassing problem some would say
I cannot stop a tinkle when I walk
and it causes me problems when I talk
I dare not laugh I told him so
he answered don’t worry it will hopefully go
Until then you need some protection
I have this underwear selection
He offered me a pack of panties;
will you choose a set of these please?
I looked at them I was amused
I could not think of which to choose
I read the labels rather quick and noticed the choice:
Paper or Plastic.........
Well with horror I thought of plastic underwear
I would stick to every plastic chair
If I wriggled around for a start,
I’d probably get a static spark
The chaffing would be so abhorrent,
if I accepted some of these plastic pants
I looked then at the paper ones,
but wondered what if I had the runs?
Can you imagine the mess I would be in,
I couldn’t put soiled ones in the bin
This choice I thought is not for me,
I will just learn how to walk, and not pee.
