Lovely bubbles thick and creamy, <br />Water deep and room all steamy, <br />World shut out and I'm all dreamy, <br />Guess what? I'm having a bath. <br /> <br />Door is locked, I'm on my own, <br />Don't need T.V. or telephone, <br />I lie there like a block of stone, <br />I'm happy, having a bath. <br /> <br />Wash my hair and scrub my toes, <br />Scratch my back and rub my nose, <br />Think of things that I propose <br />To do... after my bath. <br /> <br />Then I hear the sound of thunder <br />As it seems, when my head's under, <br />It's just a dream, a mental blunder, <br />I'm only having a bath! <br /> <br />Melting in my bed of blue, <br />While outside there's a great 'to-do' <br />The family's queueing for the loo! <br />... An hour's too long for a bath. <br /> <br />Written Sept 1994<br /><br />John Carter Brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/having-a-bath-2/
