I’ve always loved found poetry. It’s everywhere. Here are two of my favorites.

One that I found on a vomit bag:

MOTION SICKNESS BAG

If an upset stomach is anticipated, remove
bag from this container and keep ready for
use. Do not be embarrassed by this pre-

Machine wash cold
With like colors
Do not bleach
Tumble dry low
Remove promptly
Low iron as needed
