A Tissue (10min Game)

Dependable is not an adequate-
description of your worth.
Your basic principle-
has been necessity since birth.

To sanitize with such a silken-
smooth against your skin,
should be the only cleanliness-
that is considered sin.

You come in a variety of-
colors, odors and sizes.
Sometimes your boxes even have-
a random chance of prizes.

Your catalog of uses-
is among the longest lists.
Pimples, eye gunk, snot of course-
and even gooey cysts.

You never ask reciprocation-
for your cleanly deeds.
Just a loyalty of brand-
is the sum of all your needs.

You don't mind being used-
and then disposed at will.
Sometimes cleaning messes-
that gave the messy thrills.

A box of ergonomics-
that fits on any shelf.
I can even get you personalized-
to suit my need for self.

In fact I can't imagine-
even one possible issue,
that can not be resolved-
with proper use of tissue.

Author notes

This was another poem that I wrote in the game where we pick a topic (a tissue paper this time) and write a quick poem about it in under 10 minutes.
