toilet paper blues

when the toilet tissue runs out
and you shout
and run all about
and you can be heard
you just shit a turd
word for word

and there ain't no toilet paper
not a roll to be found
but you here the sound
of the shit comin' down

and your feelin' around
and around and around
for the sound

without any toilet tissue
to issue you a wipe
hell just give it a swipe

when the shit's comin' down
it has it's own sound
sumpin' ta' wipe with
sumpin' ta' give

yeah' someway ta' live

words ta' give

kinda like poetry
sumpin' ta' give

sumpin' to write
tonight

toilet paper to wipe

word' to say
"hey"
maybe
maybe not

i'm out of toilet paper
so do i just use my hand
why didn't i plan?

on takin' the shit
that'd be it

written a poem
any old time
just tryin' ta' find a rhyme
just tryin' to find my ryhtmn

i guesss that be best
forget all the rest

just tryin' ta' find what is given

takin a shit
is passin' the test

guess all the rest
is guessin' at all
a test, a rest, my best
maybe it's my fall

but there ain't no toilet paper
to wipe my ass
shit comes & shit goes
sometimes it's just gas
sometimes it's just wipin' your ass

somtimes it's just waitin' for time to pass

Just remember this, Steve: God invented hands before man invented toilet paper.
