Is there anything like a bath?
This wonderful, warm womb
in which the weary wash away what irks them
to the sound of small grunts of cosseted pleasure.
A throne!
A tub of splendour,
in which aching limbs can luxuriate
and from which tired minds may survey the world.
I'm not choosy,
don't need a jacuzzi.
Just soap and bubbles
to forget my troubles.
Was the day hard?
Not any more.
A pox upon showers
and green legalism!
This is the life!
Thanks for your comments on Fix, Dave. Did you have to get out of the bath to write them?
You men are something else...
I normally take the trouble to empty my tank before I get in the bath... Just how long do you lot spend in there?
Nice light hearted poem Dave. I think we can all identify! x
Hi Dave,
Do what the "posh" folks do - pee on the sponge - then wring it out in the sink! Sorted.
Much to be said for bathing Dave. It's like food, something that can be bland or beautuful - depending on the experience. The hot tub - outside with a view of snow covered mountains and stars; oh and a bottle of the fizzy stuff . or the tin one in front of the fire (yep, got that t-shirt!)
An ancient and worthy ritual - anyone care for another geisha?
Regards,
A.E.

I always pee in the bath.... but only when there's water in it :D
Enjoyed Dave. Just to add some balance tough - you can't pee in the bath (well, I don't).

I liked the two fingers to green thinking even though I prefer a shower in my own house but use a hotel bath if there is one - well done

Your use of the word 'may' in this context almost has a imperial feel to it. 'The map is still pink, if the pink gin falls upon it dear chap', he says monocle slipping Hehe
