Oh
mansize tissues
Even with the inclusive branding
They gave you
Oh
mansize tissues
You are still the best, the go-to
Tear-wiper
Oh
mansize tissues
Though you're now just extra large
For colds
Oh
mansize tissues
You are still the best, the toughest
Nose-wiper
Oh
mansize tissues
For man, woman, and even child
You remain
Oh
mansize tissues
You are still the best, the softest
Blood-wiper
Oh
mansize tissues
This is for you, the one and only
The best

Thanks for reading!
This is an ode to tissues - specifically Kleenex Mansize Tissues, which have now been rebranded as Extra Large due to complaints of sexism.
