Tissue Mountain

On a shelf above his bed,
Looking like a fountain,
Henry has what has become
A little tissue mountain.

Each tissue gets one wipe or blow
And then it joins the pile,
A mound that had been growing
For much more than just a while.

When asked if I could clean it up,
The answer I keep getting
Is an emphatic No; I guess 
I'm aiding and abetting.

It isn't really gross because 
There's not a lot of issue
Allowed to make its way upon
Each single 2-ply tissue.

And Henry laughs when I point out 
His tissue mountain's growing,
An impish twinkle in his eye
Which he delights in showing.
