PAPERLESS

Here I am in the bathroom
(It’s happened to us all)
There’s just one sheet of tissue
On the holder on the wall.
I should have used the cloakroom
At the bottom of the stair.
The roll in there is almost new,
Only visitors go there.
Then I suddenly remember,
Which is a great relief,
The reason I came in here
Was just to clean my teeth.

Lucky escape. Hope you rectified that before your next visit which may not be for teeth.
