Wiping your bottom

This lady thinks the other one disgusting
because she wipes her bottom with her hand
but that one thinks the first is much too trusting
in toilet paper of whatever brand.

For surely it seems obvious dry tissue
won't clean all faeces from a soiled skin;
the film of germs remaining is an issue
which she thinks only washing can get clean.

But water on its own is not sufficient
to clean both skin and soiled fingers too;
so what we need is something more efficient
and that of course is soap as well you knew.

So first you wipe with paper (use your left hand ?)
and then, with naked fingers, wash with soap;
more paper dries your anus and your cleft, and,
with hand well-washed, you're quite germ-free ( you hope ).

"Alright", you say, "I take the point.
But why discuss such sordid things?"
Just an example of the way
we let our different up-bringings
divide us when we should subdue
each culture's narrow-mindedness.
Better to let intelligence
decide our values and progress.
