Things You Might Not Know

3 of every 4 creatures on earth
Are insects, now you know
Why hordes of damn mosquitoes
Pester and bug us so

They sow their seeds of mayhem
As we sit in the summer sun
Being annoyed by these tiny bugs
Till finally we get up and run

After a house fly eats its food
It regurgitates and eats it once more
Imagine if we re-ate our meat balls
That's something I would abhor

Americans eat 12 billion bananas
Every year, no wonder at times
We get the urge to hang from trees
Or scratch our protruding behinds

Each one of us uses approximately
Fifty sheets of bum wipe
Each and every day of our existence
We're killing our trees, my gripe

Maybe instead, use toilet paper
With a hole right in the centre
We could use it over and over again
Washing up is a disease preventer

In 32 years there are approximately
One billion seconds of time
Each one is so very very precious
Waisting one is a downright crime

You are full of silliness today! I haven’t been to the store yet, is toilet paper disappearing again?
