Nightmarish Shower

Having a shower is relaxing, water gently falling, Soothing your naked body, but I nearly went sprawling, I was staying with Ricky and Robyn his wife, When an incident the most embarrassing in my life, Took and shook away all my feminine power, All because I nearly slipped and stumbled in the shower! They bought non slippery mats, but had to pass, It felt as if I was actually walking on glass, They were renovating their bathroom, so for safety Placed them right to the door, so thoroughly wet I bravely Attempted to walk on the first one, nearly broke my neck, Back to the shower oh goodness me, I felt like a wreck. Tried to cool the water down as it had turned hot, But the tap came off in my hand, oh no please not Another disaster, the window had bars, onto which I held, ROBYN I yelled come quick I can’t take a step, I felt Helpless, Robyn rushes in – I’m as naked as the day I was born, In my hand was the tap that had broken, I was quite forlorn, Don’t worry about the tap, it does this every so often, The door was open, I heard the dogs barking at the commotion, All five Labradors rushed in, tails wagging, ready for a party, Dudley the fattest is loving, so cuddy, but always so farty, Ricky whistled for the dogs from the kitchen, they ran out, The water was the right temperature, mats without doubt, Were removed, and so eventually I finished my shower, As I was stepping out of the bathroom, the lights went out, We had no power!

Absolutely David, I went through everything i mentioned in my poem - at least I eventually had my shower at the cost of the lights going out, that also almost happened whilst in the shower. Thank-you for your visit and lovely comment, hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

What a debacle! Just when you're wondering "how could this day get ANY worse?" the lights go out. I loved your story telling here, as I always do Jenn, you have such a unique poetic voice and are always a pleasure to read. Thank you for your visit to my site, and I trust all is well with you, dear friend. Blessings and hugs ~ John

Oh, my! This really is like a nightmare. Going through all this and then losing electricity? I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself, Jennifer. Very interesting account. I hope you had a nice Easter, dear. I am with family now for a while, but had to stop by and say hello. Hugs, Carolyn

These things usually go in threes, Jenny...mats, tap, power!! Quite an ordeal, but all's well that ends well; could have been much worse, especially had the lights gone off first! Definitely an experience to remember, my friend. ~ Warm regards & hugs // paul

Yes I would say that was a nightmare shower .Oh my goodness! Then after all that no electricity. I guess you could just offer it up as penance for a long and wicked life. lol A fine write and a fun read Jennifer. God Bless and hope you had a Happy Easter. Praise The Lord! He Is Risen! JB

Well, I would say that was not a relaxing shower at all. I hope you are much better now after all the commotion. I enjoyed the humor in it. I hope it really did not happen and this is only a work telling a story about things that you have heard people say about happenings in showers. Thanks for dropping by my page. Sara

It is absolutely the truth, glad I'm alive to tell the tale. Thanks for a great comment Sara, and glad you enjoyed the humor, at the time it was terror, but I can see the funny side of it too. Imagine my poor daughter in law having to see her mother in law in her all together! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

And you still have a sense of humour after all of that. Wow you needed an audience this is so funny.. But maybe at the time not for you...But thanks for sharing it is hilarious.

I promise you Harry, not at the time, it was frightening and in fact terrifying, but after 3 weeks, I can see the humor in this tale! As always thank-you for a wonderful comment. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hello Jennifer ... a case of Murphy's law - what can go wrong will go wrong. My wife Joy slipped on a small puddle of water and broke her ankle. She has a plate fitted and cannot weight bear for six weeks. This poem is worthy of a comedy script - thank you Jennifer - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay, thank you for the compliment - I'm sorry to hear about your wife, I'm sure glad I'm alive to tell my tale. A small accident can cause so much damage to a person. My husbands aunt was coming out of the cinema with her daughter and turned round round to tell her something and her slipped of the banister, she fell, went into a coma, and sustained brain damage - the machine was turned off 3 weeks later - tragic! Stay well my friend, thank you, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Oh Jennifer what an experience to go through, it must have been terrible then at the time. You've told this tale extremely well, with good imagery and expression. Hope you've had a blessed Easter weekend, Gordon

To take a shower or not to take a shower...this is NOT a question! It is Better to stay with dirt than risking breaking your neck, dearest Jennifer! Hahaha! What a nightmare! I pray never to face such a situation. Happy Easter, my dearest friend. Thank God you are safe. Hugs xxx

It certainly was a nightmare Demetrios - but c'est la vie, the scary, unexpected, the accidents, the happy and adventurous times are for us people to experience. Hope and pray this never happens to you though. Hugs and Blessings, Happy Easter Sunday my friend to you and your family. Jennifer.
