So, I’m entirely too late for the contest for best haiku describing why one would need a specific tool for squeezing a toothpaste tube, which I suppose is what I get for reading most of the blogs I follow in fits and spurts, and which is probably just as well, since I’m fairly content with my tool-free method of toothpaste tube squeezing. However, with a fairly absurd topic like that, I couldn’t resist trying to write a few. Here’s what I came up with:
feeble hands cramping
toothpaste hides in corners deep
man must find new tool
why must you taunt me
fuzzy teeth from days with out
just one more dollop
tried to stab the tube
for one more glob, cut my hand
blood does not clean teeth
must keep tension tight
do not want my toothpaste stripes
turned to a gray mix
Crest and stripes on flag
I have made a mess again
want to fly white flag
