Flushable Personal Hygiene Wipes
Flushable Personal
Hygiene Wipes—
The sound of the stuff
Make me think, O cripes!
Le Bain as we know it
Requires all types,
But Flushable Personal
Hygiene Wipes?
Flushable Personal
Hygiene Wipes—
Surely tiptop
Advertising hypes.
Grant me the grudging.
Grudge me the gripes.
Flushable Personal
Hygiene Wipes.
Flushable Personal
Hygiene Wipes—
Euphemistically stable
As types of diaps.
Vague, though,
Unsettling,
You want to say yipes!
Flushable Personal
Hygiene Wipes!
Flushable Personal
Hygiene Wipes—
Using these babies will
Stricken your stripes.
May as well face it,
They’re reaming your pipes.
Flushable Personal
Hygiene Wipes!
