What to Submit?

1 original, poem on the theme of  When the Toilet Paper Roll Is Almost Empty .............
Any form is acceptable.

Anything goes that is allowed on soup. I do prefer shorter forms so please from a one-liner to 20 lines. It will be interesting to see what different people do when they are getting to the end of the roll. LOL..It can be a metaphor for getting toward the end of life, etc. if you care to go that way.
