Flushed Out

(5-7-5) I'm Told

Worth your weight in gold,

no more cornhusks from days of old

pandemic caused hoarding...all sold!

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Mundane? Although toilet paper does lack interest, isn't exciting at all, and is most definitely dull...no longer scented or colored pink and blue, like back in the day...I still don't deny it's beauty when I need it! Without its existence, it would be a "stinky" humdrum existence...

According to Oxford Dictionary:

mun·dane

[ˌmənˈdān]

adjective

lacking interest or excitement; dull:

"seeking a way out of his mundane, humdrum existence"

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

My humble entry from Matthew Fromm's fun challenge:

(There's no way out of the stinky poo I've made here, I'm afraid!)

    And there we have it! No more cornhusks, indeed. Reminds me of the scene from Dances with Wolves when the beautiful journal entries are used. Hooray for TP!

    hahahaha. This is bloody marvellous, Shirley! I was drawn in by the title and the funny pic and the fact you managed that within the constraints of 575 is impressive! Great entry!

  • 😂😂😂 I was so glad with the lockdown that my husband always keeps both bathroom closets full of tp. We always had enough and he wasn't sharing or talking about it. 😂
