IN THE BATHROOM
Lotions, potions, rubs
And scrubs fill window ledges
And edges of tubs.
Don’t rush the brush, bro
Two minutes innit? Steady
Pace, and taste the paste.
Blue Bic shaving stick,
Too quick, slight nick, tissue trick:
Speck dabbed and nick scabbed.
Behold on high the
Bathroom cabinet, filled with
Pills for ills we get.
Mirror on the wall
Please show: My father thirty
Years ago…..…Spooky!
Stella’s fella smells well
Power showers, body gel…
Girls! Control yourselves!
Bathroom scales tell tales
Of exercise and diet.
With some disquiet.
