I Dream for a Ream

It’s come to a rare occasion. The printer has run out of paper and I must fork out for a new ream. There’s no more sheets hidden in drawers or down the back of the desk. It would be nice if we could re-use the back of another sheet but our printer doesn’t like pre-used paper. It’s probably the presence of two young children in our house eager to be occupied. It would have probably helped if the kids did use the back of old sheets rather than taking new ones but I suppose they want to get doodling quickly and we really didn’t want them rooting through the drawers. There was a time when we could justify that a ream could mysteriously arrive in the house for business use; but sadly those days aren’t with us now. We’re just ordinary folk without secret sources for our stationary. Maybe our time will rise again.
