I wonder
Why’s it always me?
Or so it seems to be.
Whenever I go in
I never can begin
To do the things they do,
Until I’ve sourced anew
A fresh supply of white
So soft and fairy light,
Or buttered aloe vera
It sometimes seems this way,
No matter what I say,
The cardboard inner tube
Just waiting for my turn.
Will others never learn
They too can get the spare,
It’s in the cupboard there!
And as for the toothpaste tube…
