Sumner Shower
How fresh the shower a man takes at dawn
Daylight already so hot and intense
But switching to ‘Cool’ shall stifle a yawn
And shampoo lasts ages… on hair not dense
A towel that is dry so patiently waits
For wet human flesh which aims to be dry
Perchance the human has meetings or dates
Neither is true for that human is I
Show me a towel that can dry a wet man
When hot outdoor air sucks no vapour out
But how shall I dry: I doubt that I can
“Darling, please bring me one more towel,” I shout
Although clammy still, aftershave won’t hurt
Famous last words as I stick to my shirt
