Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Please Don'T Steal the Toilet Paper

At a rest stop on the highway,
In the women's room, a sign 
Saying, "Please don't steal the toilet paper!"
(Exclamation, mine.)

Beneath it, in parentheses,
Was added ("Yes, folks do it")
Although what type of people would,
I couldn't quite intuit.

I guess the ones who litter,
Cut the lines or text and drive;
In other words, a huge percent 
Of people now alive.

Maurice Rigoler September 25, 2017 at 9:56 PM Love it! I have a poem I wrote some years ago about a public rest room in a town near by. It was so filthy it should have been condemned by the health dept. If a sign would have been appropriate, it should have read: Beware: germs of the black plague still live here! / M

Lin Lane September 23, 2017 at 2:09 PM Mores the pity that some people are so cheap and/or disrespectful as to do such a thing. Well written, Ilene.
