Magic Paper
1In the ancient times of the Romans, it was still unknown,and they would often use two fingers.
Nero wouldn’t take any risk: a slave would follow him,
and, when his business was done, it was the other one who scraped it off.
It’s paper, it’s paper,
it’s disposable paper.
If you use it too quickly,
it breaks, and that sucks!
It’s paper, it’s paper,
more than ten storeys long.2
Apologise when you tear it off
and it preserves your hands.
In time nothing changes, until Charlemagne comes:
he bans the improper use of one’s hands throughout the kingdom.
Arms, ladies, and knights: they’re dark and grim times.
And nobody invents it
