The Little Things
When I buy paper towels,
I don’t care about the ply.
I just don’t want boring white ones
And perhaps you wonder why.
Well, a towel with a picture,
Printed on each rolled-down sheet,
Seems to brighten up my kitchen -
Same with napkins, I’d repeat.
Some have flowers, others veggies,
There are those with bright designs -
Any type of printed image
With my preference aligns.
Lately in the supermarket,
All the choices have been white.
While I looked, another customer
Agreed it wasn’t right.
It’s the little things in life
That pick me up and make my day.
Even something insignificant
Can help me feel okay.
