Bath Time for Baby
A Limerick about Tub Time
One evening she sat by the tub
The baby did Rub-a-Dub-Dub
Then there were troubles
and telltale bubbles...
Oh crap, now it’s mom’s turn to scrub!
***Author's Note***
This may or may not have been inspired by very recent events.
If you enjoyed this...
then you clearly need a nap.
***I’ve edited this to try to closer fit the syllable count and cadence guidelines for limericks as I have been reading and learning more about them. It is a work in progress :)

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.

Oops 😖 ❤️💯📝👍Great one❗
Donna this was great! I loved the pun in the end and the humour of your limerick! I'd venture a guess you had a lot of fun with this one, but maybe not the events that this limerick told of. 💩
Soooo beautiful! Haha
Oh if I had a dollar for every time this happened.... all too relatable lol! Loved it!
If there is a syllable count, mine all failed, vocal didn't mention a word count. I loove the baby poem.
Oh I didn't know there were specific syllable counts for limerick. I just thought they were supposed to be 5 lines where it should rhyme as AABBA, lol. This was a funny limerick!
Always fun when my daughter does this. Less so now that’s she’s 23. 😂
Rub a dub scrub! Teehehee 😂 Nice one, Donna 💕🙂
Oh no! Loved this one!
I love your parenting stuff. I have four kids and your pieces always bring back memories
a limerick that is funny and has cadence! nice.
More memories of tubs sullied and naps untaken. They do grow up too fast though, and then... well, it's a whole new world! Nice work Donna.
Lol. I guess I need a nap. Love it.
Adorable!! So in love with this 😍😍
Haha! Great one, and I do need a nap!
Oh Gawd! 🤣 You're doing a good job, Moma 👊
Cute!
Bwaahaha. I read this to my kid and she got a kick out of it too :)
Been there, scrubbed that!
Ahhhh, I am past those days but I remember them well. Funny thing is, I'm still tired, lol!! Great one!!
Sounds about right!
Grab the baby out of the bath is what You must do Since the bubbles happened, the water quickly changed hue Drain the contents and flush them down the toilet with a cup from the sink Hurry now before the room starts to stink And make sure that the baby gets cleaned too
Loved it! So cute!
Hahaha! Love it, Donna! I must need a nap...
Been there -- it's. definitely funnier now. 💕
