Tissues In Your Pocket
If you have a little sniffle
Then your pockets might contain
One or several crumpled tissues
So you will not search in vain.
But the trick is to remember
When your clothing hits the wash
That those pockets must be emptied
Or you'll come upon - oh gosh!
Lots of shreds and clumps of tissue
In the lint trap and, as well,
Stuck to every top and bottom
That the dryer spins pell-mell.
It will take some time to gather
All those scraps that you can glean,
But don't blame yourself too harshly
For at least you know they're clean!
