My Towel

When stepping from the shower, Dripping wet and set to dry, I like to know a bath sheet’s On alert and standing by. It needn’t be expensive Nor the fluffiest of brands, Just large enough to wrap me up, The simplest of demands. For the towels they call “bath size,” Though I guess they’d do the trick, Aren’t quite the ones in bath departments I would ever pick. There are other stipulations; As for colors – dark is best And one tiny other factor Really needs to be addressed. Growing up, we shared our towels, Which my parents thought was fine, But the towel hanging on the right Today is only mine!

I could get myself in trouble with my wife for not doing some "Real work" and just poem reading. I love your stuff and I will make a point of dipping in whenever I can - keep up the good work and if you ever find a place where us "Rhymers" are fully appreciated let me know (I'll do the same) Have you published anything yet?? you should.

Reminds me of that commercial where the guy is wiping his hands and face with the dogs towel.

Good for you! I always prefer to keep 'my' towel to myself also. You're right, you really have to go looking for bath 'sheets' to ensure the all encompassing correct dimension. Well done again! Keith
