7-Up: Cleanliness Is Next To Impossible
Who else, save that one person
in need of relaxation
would stoop to taking a bath?
From the very first instant
said bather isn't cleaner
but more and more wallowing
in their own scum-laden filth.

To those well-off enough to have servants:
Who's got a servant to skim off the skum?
Those with a servant to help wash their bum
Nice to be Roman in this day and age
Having such servants with which to engage
Notice I said
Servant not slave
Some would though still
A slave wish to crave
Servant slave
Skim skum
Wash bum
Ho hum ?

Personally I get one of the servants to constantly skim off the skum (poetic or what?) and top up with clean hot water.

As long as that Roman isn't Tiberius though, eh? What he demanded of his 'tiddlers' doesn't bear thinking about.
