A Serious Problem

There’s a sweeping debate
That’s facing the nation
A critical matter for all

It’s not about wars
Or pontiffs or taxes
Especially not basketball

It’s closer to home
It affects everybody
It’s caused the most tranquil to crack

Should the end of the roll
Of your home’s bathroom tissue
Hang down in the front or the back?

Both sides have their ardent
And vocal supporters
Some people prefer down behind

They say it looks neater
And children and kitties
Can’t cause the whole roll to unwind

On the other hand some say
The end should just dangle
In front for the whole world to see

You can count off your sheets
And you won’t touch the wall
And the side facing up’s cushiony

While both have their points
And the merits of each one
Are thoughtful, persuasive and strong

In the end there’s just one way
To properly hang it
And it’s not down the back - that’s just wrong!
