- Plan B -

                                                  Swallow your pride and shout
                                             Who left the toilet paper roll empty?
                                                       Always have a plan B
                                                  - when the need is critical

Joseph P. DiMino August 18, 2026 at 5:50 AM An old saying, look before you excrete:)) Plan A and B should come before plan P and S. Ideally anyway.

Sotto Poet August 17, 2026 at 10:25 AM Your fantastic poem cleverly uses humor to address a relatable everyday situation, Anne-Lise. The playful tone is engaging, and the line "Swallow your pride and shout" sets up an amusing exploration of a mundane but often overlooked hassle.

Daniel Henry Rodgers August 17, 2026 at 9:12 AM Dear Anne-Lise, there’s something wonderfully relatable about taking a universally awkward, unglamorous moment and extracting a crisp piece of practical wisdom from it. Blessings, Daniel

Demetrios Trifiatis August 17, 2026 at 8:03 AM Hilarious! What you propose is the most dignified Plan B! Fortunately, no Plan C! 😂😂

Lin Lane August 17, 2026 at 7:57 AM Ha and a good idea. In this case plan B is definitely a good Back up plan, and boo to the one who didn't replace the empty!
