When I was a kid ...
in the days before Kleenex tissues ...
before the average working family could afford enough hankies ...
when everyone in the family had a cold!
Mum's ripped the ends of torn sheets,
the tails of Dad's shirts ...
torn pillow slips ...
into squares exactly like these ...
for us to blow our nose on ...
we called them snot rags!
Isn't this ridiculously outrageous merchandising?
