The tube was full - I squeezed without care
Some on the brush
Some down the sink
Some on my chin - look there
Even a little in my hair
What did I care?
I opened the box and flung it away
That was on 'new toothpaste day'
I forgot the yesterdays
Rolling the tube so tight
Squeezing with all my might
Yet not even a smear
So I brushed my teeth with water
Spitting it out fresh and clear
Cursing the profligate ways
Of my 'new toothpaste days'
