FROTH WRATH

Peruse the picture up above

And I know that you will find

That this is the view of the Bubble Bath

You carry in your mind.

You see yourself dunking your weary frame

In a mass of silver bubbles,

That will wash-away all the dirt and grime

And relieve you of all your troubles.

You see yourself immersing

In a sort of fairy cloud.

You'll see yourself going in sad and drear

And emerging bright and proud.

Perfumes of Arabia 

Will soothe your pampered skin

As the bubbles, in a sensual way,

Tickle you on the chin.

You know you'll lie there transported

Feeling no woe or doubt.

And you'll choose the really glamorous bits

You 'accidentally' stick out.

You'll imagine a visit from a lover,

Who will stand transfixed and gape

At your tantalising loveliness

And your half-hidden shape.

You imagine the water down below

All warm and soft and glowing........

*

Ah, but wait, consider this,

The bits above that are showing!

They'll feel all chilly and semi-wet;

This will make you feel uneasy.

The warmth below will exaggerate

The top, where it's cold and breezy.

The bubbles will cool and start to burst

In cold 'snaps' around your frame!

Your toes emerging un-manicured

Will cover you with shame.

You'll lose the soap in the bathtub

And then you'll have to bend

Way down into the bubbles!

Will your troubles never end?

You'll be grovelling for the lost soap

With your rear-end in the air

When the gorgeous 'lover' enters.

Life really isn't fair!

*

Ladies! Quit your dreaming!

Leave your ivory tower!

It's very much safer and nicer

To have a short, sharp shower!

FLAMINGO

There once was a pretty flamingo

Who pretended that he was a dingo

He looked the right shape

But one couldn't escape

From the fact that he failed at the lingo!
