Alcohol Rub
Hope my future children have more bottles of perfume than Sterilium in their cupboards. Favourite smell? Alcohol rub and the scent of sterile hospital wings. (Emphasis on sterile) Maybe because of what comfort meant as a kid. How does one get time with their parents when they practically live in the hospital? Something I learnt as...

Premium Member Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: Rub-A-Dub-Dub
What nursery rhyme's gayer, I'm asking you, bub, Than the one that has three grown men sharing a tub? Was it their sexual orientation, Or merely water conservation, And they were all charter members of the Sierra Club?...

Oh but to rest this mad toiling mind! Sleep? Nay, to sleep perchance to dream Dreams. Ay, there lay the problem How, then, to find solace Can it be achieved... true peace of mind? Not in life but in death...

Premium Member Rub It In, Why Dont You
I never had much of an inflated ego Vanity left me at birth Our self esteem should travel wherever we go But I always doubted my worth The awful commotion of plane hitting ocean Woke every shark in the sea And I’m left alone with a gut wrenching notion Why did they overlook me The crash had killed plenty, the sharks had took...

Premium Member This May Rub You Raw
Mortal man's stuck in the can He can't get off the pot He goes and goes, it never ends Could be some kind of plot A half-hour later he's still going Poor posterior all rubbed raw And now he's out of toilet paper It must be Murphy's Law He calls 911, says "Help me, please" ...

Falling in love can be fast and easy. Love can seize anyone in its strangehold. Unexpectedly engulf anyone at first glance. But declaring to the object of your affection that your heart's all in Immersed body and soul, head to toe. That you've fallen hopelessly in love with him...or her now that's the tough part!

Never Rub Salt Into the Gash
Never rub salt into the gash, Making not bad things even worse; Say sweet inspiring lines instead That are found in the poet's verse.
