Clarke Now Washes His Shirts
Clarke now washes his trousers and shirts
And wants wife to be washing her skirts.
Not a rule launderers quit the dirt
Release of cash to soap men could hurt...
Washing one's pants touches not one's worth,
A decreed king it won't change nor birth,
Cleaning foul singlet not without mirth,
At one's kingdom one shall, at last, berth...
The truth in

Perhaps My Creek Washes Away Me
The day was wearing on when the old man gingerly stepped outside;
Thanks to an earlier breeze and short rainfall, cool air greeted, arms wide.
“The air is clearer too!” he cheered… though only in his head, he hopingly joked,
But smog had finally reached out to them, mostly due to wildfires smoked.
He winced as he closed the

She Washes Her Hair With Beer, Vinegar and Egg
It's not a crack to the skull
But the yolk is prepared in a bowl
It is diluted with water
It's not a pint over the head
But the beer from a bottle
It is diluted with water
It's not fish n chips on the scalp
But the vinegar from a cruet
It is diluted with water
These are all genuine ways to

Jesus Blood Washes Me Whole-
I know it was the blood of Jesus,
that washes me whole;
I am a dirty drench sinner;
from the muck and miry;
O' and I've pleaded the blood;
Of my Savior who saved me;
I am a dirty drench sinner;
from the muck and miry;
I know it was the blood of Jesus,
that washes me whole;
It left His body red;
Though He was

What Washes This Way
See them Iscariot eyes silver surfing,
filthy lucre foam
is left in their wake
You best be watching them,
when they’re evil eyeballing you
Dirty money laundry days a-rising,
grifter ink gloam ...
palms on the last take
Grimy worst, the dullest dim,
are midnight indigo shady blue
What washes this way
is soiled paper, scumbag nasty
What lurks in the waves
is avarice sawdust

Still, the Liquor Washes My Heart
mind

many love boats
discharge hard drinking
drunkard for traveler
many times who came in heart
but no time I caged the unknown
in me still, I wash heart by the love

I'm a sinner, and my, my soul is red
But then God looked upon me

White as snow, He washes me white as snow
He come unto me, makes my body whole
As my being is red from my sins
My God washes me, God wash me
White as snow, He washes me white

John 13: Part 1-Jesus Washes Judas' Heel
John 13 (Part 1)
Jesus knew the hour had come
that soon He should depart.
He loved them all unto the last,
him tugging at His heart.
The devil having done his thing,
his heel was lifted up;
but this thing, too, was given Him –
and us if we would sup.
He laid His garments to the side.
A towel He made His girdle.
With

Rain Washes Trees Face

wind brushes her tangled hair
