Crowded Tub

There are too many kids in this tub
There are too many elbows to scrub
I just washed a behind that I'm sure wasn't mine
There are too many kids in this tub.

    So visual - one can imagine themselves in the tub and scrubbing someone else's behind! Really simple - easy to read and understand, short and to the point. Am going to read more of this poet, for sure.

    ROFLMAO, This was funny. I wonder if Nam and Ed Barricks no how funny they sound, but to the poem itself. My favorite line has to be: I just washed a behind that I'm sure wasn't mine.

    I mean that is scary thought there. Anyway, I quite enjoyed this one. So many childhood memories in this one as well.

    I wonder if Ed Barricks above realising that poor ol' shel died in '99?

    Probably not. And even if he were alive I doubt he'd know his work was posted here.

    Anyways, I thought the 3rd line was a bit too long (worded wise) but, still a lovely piece.
