Once-A-Weekers

It seems like this pandemic Has affected what we wear (No bras, just sweats and tees) And if we cut or dye our hair. But something I just read about Surprised me, for this change May be noticed in some other ways That I, for one, find strange. For people have stopped bathing Every day, but they insist That fears of stinking up the air Should quickly be dismissed. A bath or shower taken, On the average, once a week, With a little cleaning in-between, Won’t make a person reek. This is something I won’t follow For I shower every day And when meeting once-a-weekers, I will simply walk away!

Another nice one, but I recall reading about Robert Redford bragging about not changing his shorts for months; how is that even possible?

as they say, "cleanliness is next to Godliness," Ilene. What a society we live in? . We worry about privacy and yet broadcast our most intimate deeds and thoughts.
