the scarcity of me paper,
got me writing this little caper,
I must now skimp and save,
with ev’ry sheet behave,
or find a new way to scraper!

Oh lol - if seeing humorous side of this.
Use [insert name of trashiest newspaper in your country] instead. In UK, it could be 'The Sun' newspaper.
And it's a diet of bamboo leaves for you now then?!
Sometimes I just can't help myself Orchidee - the bathos poetry just flows out without a filter (all those years studying and permitting for waste water engineering projects). Yes, no excuse - I should be a better example I suppose. I think that those estranged from Christ can take comfort in knowing that those of us trying to live more devoutly than we used to live - well we're not much different from them, are we? - still just a band of sinners we are - doing our best - one day at a time - to get to heaven.
Thanks Gary. Does the No.7 bus go to heaven? We might get there more quicker by bus! A guy tricked me. I said 'C'mon you know it's the No.11 bus to heaven - you're just not telling me'. I'm waffling on now. lol
Wasn't it C.S. Lewis who touched on this topic of buses to heaven? Yes - a quick google searched - refreshed the ole memory stick: "The Great Divorce". I see that it was written as an "allegorical tale about a bus ride from hell to heaven." (Amazon.com) A fine Anglican and Christian apologists: Mr. C.S. Lewis. Highly revered in Catholic circles too.
The banana leaves, by the way, would have been the natural alternative to the toilet paper, or ‘The Sun’ for that matter, the toilet paper alternative that you just suggested. 🤣🤣😞
