The World Of Wash And Wipe Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Let Kipling's East and West not meet,
Today ‘wash of the world' ‘the wipe' beat.
But there was time, ‘wipe' felt different
From the water-washing orient,
Thanks a strange storm that world-wide waft,
It's tilted the wiping world's raft.

The foe that came as if from a blue blank
Has forced the world bow in obeisance
And made old wipes to see some sense,
The wash world for which may the villain thank—
The rogue called Corona sans clue,
That the wash world wins— hygiene point of view.

And how can we miss environment?
Wipe world's made unto it a mighty dent.

UK, USA, Canada, and Australia, which largely use sanitary papers in loo, represent ‘the wiping world'; whilst India and the subcontinent, ‘the washing-with-water world. Each block looks down on the other. But Corona seems to have settled this debate. There is growing evidence to show that bodily waste products are carriers of pathogen. In comparison paper is a poor sanitizer than water. And then there is an environment angle. It is established that 27000 trees have to be cut down every single day to keep the wipe world supplied with loo paper.
