The Tub of Love

                          This tub is filled with different words that float in my life
                             Most are still here because of my sweet loving wife
                              She takes such good care of me every single day
                               That is the reason these words never float away
                                 Without her I would flow right down the drain
                                     And all that would do is cause more pain
                                       So I keep it filled that's my usual plan
                                         Also jump into it whenever I can 
                                            Always bathing myself in love
                                               Hoping that she will never
                                              P                the                 P
                                              U                                      L
                                              L                                       U
                                             L                                         G
