PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Well, it’s been hard here

in these European countries.

I guess I’m more

solidly entrenched in America

than I care to admit.

I guess that’s something

that you really can’t get around.

You gotta deal with it

sometime each and every day

I like a lot of things

about this continent

It’s less of a rat race

People are less self conscious

and less judgmental

and the women—

we won’t go there today

but the single ply toilet paper

well, that’s pretty harsh

to deal with on a full time basis

I need my two ply

and for that

I will not apologize.
