Soap:
An Ode to all things clean
Millions of bubbles huddle together,
to wash the sins of a dreadful day
Everlasting suds stretch on forever,
leaving things fresh along the way
Please thank the one who imagined soap,
a purifying remedy with lofty ambitions
Elementary, yet worthy of trope,
scours away the soiled intentions
*
Scrub all you want, you’ll never be clean,
when you hold onto guilt
from the conscious you stream
Love love love, the way that you run,
from the problems that lurk,
purging is only begun
Take one GIANT leap, for that bar of hope,
lavender scented
makes it easy to cope
Maybe you'll find a vat full of suds
to soak your addled mind-
to dissolve the crippled crud-
*
In the end, your triumph awaits,
squeaky clean, forgiven mistakes
You’ve rid your mouth of nasty words,
things you don’t mean should never be heard
Exfoliate the stigma, destroy the grime
enjoy the feel of your revitalized rhyme
Until another day and another fragrant brand,
keep scrubbing, my friend until cleanliness is grand.
Thank you for stopping by 😍
Enjoy something else while you’re here.
