Notes About The Poem

Daft Bath Time

THE YOLK'S ON ME It was bath time for my twins, I played a little joke and filled their bathtub with purple dinosaur yolk. The bathtub discoloured, the yolk was scummy but in the purple gloop I found a missing dummy Into the tub I placed my little daughter she shivered, so I poured in hot water; alas the egg congealed, it was a huge mistake… for their next bath time I’ll use chocolate milk shake!
