Cold Shower

Six a.m. one morning…I got a surprise

Jumped in the shower before I opened my eyes

Not even dawn...so in my rush

I twisted the knob and out in a gush

I felt like I had jumped in a cold creek

"Holy smokes!" I said with a shriek

I warmed up eventually, but don’t you worry

That lesson will teach me not to be in a hurry

Okay, so I really shouted something else, but eh posting guidelines.

G'day A.E... HA-HA... so I'm not the only one who despises cold showers. Thank you-Lindsay
