The zero effect

Why mummy

Why has Vaseline finished,

Our Vaseline doctor says

Use Vaseline

Just at any time any where.

Why my son there’s plenty

In the curvy bottle

Just use your fingers and dig in. 

A week passed by

The son did not cry

Made do with the remnants

In the bottle

Then before he could yell,

Mom gave him a present

Another new bottle

See how we economised

For a week and saved our pay.

Same thing happens

In kitchens and bathrooms,

Except in dad’s bars

Where liquor must flow

In bottles if not jars.
