Empty Paper Poem by Paul Warren

When you're not in front
and your life is unsure
There is no toilet paper for you
and to every supermarket you turn to
There's none you tell me,
and I cry tears to myself

I don't need your persuasion,
cos it will be newspaper then
I will just read it through
and I think seriously myself
That's not really soft too,
I'll just use it quickly gritting my teeth through
It'll be better you tell me,
But no more I beg of you

So when I reach the last sheet
and the roll is empty for me
I'll been waiting wondering what I can do
Perhaps learning about making my own toilet paper too.
