Stealing Toilet Paper from the Library

I actually wanted to write something about this in my other blog today, but when I came home to do just that, I ended up picking up my guitar and wrote a little song about it instead. Something I would probably not typically do, but these days, because of the 50/90 challenge, all my thoughts seem to turn into to little songs.

So yes, it's true. There was a type written sign in the bathroom of my library today asking the patrons to please not take the toilet paper home. It said some of there employees had seen people walking out with rolls of toilet paper. Hmm. I found it so odd. And kind of funny. The library is one of the nicest places in my world. They let you check out stuff (books, magazines, cds, dvds)and bring it home FOR FREE, people! So it seemed especially funny that some think it's okay to also check out the toilet paper.

Stealing Toilet Paper from the Library

I know that crime happens every single day

I know that times are tough and it's difficult to save

I understand the challenge of affording all your needs

To get your food and shelter 'cuz money doesn't grow on trees

(chorus)

But I can't imagine how hard it's got to be

When you're stealing toilet paper from the library

I went to check a book out at my local branch

I stopped in at the bathroom first so I could wash my hands

That's when I read the sign that said, "We're running kind of low...

...we're almost out of toilet paper, so please don't take it home."

(chorus)

There have been no arrests yet, they haven't caught the crooks

Who stole the toilet paper while checking out some books

Times are hard for the libraries too

They've suffered budget cuts and now a heist in the bathroom!

(chorus)
