Keep in there Don, You are quite clear to me and to show my appreciation for your liking Poetry here is one that you can have a smile at. Bern from Austria. God Bless and enjoy. Bath Time. I took my yearly bath today, Lots of dirt got soaked away. Why I bother, I sure don't know, But I bathed myself from head to toe. I used a bar of scented soap, To smell a bit sweeter, what a hope. When I tried to wash my hair , My brush and comb stood up to stare. My nails are in a terrible state, Should I cut them, should I wait. And what about my dirty ears, I haven't washed them in thirty years. My teeth like stars come out at night, If I clean them,They'll get a fright. The talcum powder on the shelf, Said, " Touch me not, I'll kill myself." You know you really shouldn't laugh, It's very courageous to take a bath. And the feeling I've got is akin to fear, For I will have to bath again next year. Bernard Shaw.
