anti-ode to baths













o shower stall where u make me clean,
why is it that you're so mean?
you steal my stink and make it worse
after the dog park, it's such a curse.

Did you say bath?
My answer's no!
so underneath the couch I go.
I woof and grumble my dismay,
how could you treat your boy this way?
But then, a sound that cuts my fear
The doorbell rings,
there's someone here!!
Running, barking to the door
but alas, the visitor is no more.
Mom scoops me up, gives a gentle rub
then carries me to the laundry tub!
I want to shrink away or run
but quickly now the washing's done.
You'd think that in all this time I'd learn...
but don't worry, I'll just go roll in a juicy worm!

Oskar (I hate water)

Hi, Baxter!
I love baths! I'd love to share the shower stall every morning with my mom but she does not let me!
And BTW... I had one this morning!
Kisses and hugs

Baxter my man, you took the words right out of my mouth!! I can totally tell when bath time is about to happen, and most of the time I'll hide even before mom thinks about calling my name. I don't even walk in the bathroom if I don't have to. Bubbles is a lot more dumb so mom can get her faster. You got to be fast!!

oh how i love em
when u write-y de poems
so much better
than learnin bout xylem and phloem!

(okay, it's only been like a hundred years since biology class but finally a use outside of high school for phloem!)

Kep used to love licking shower water from that very shower stall. He only had to go in once to realize the actual shower was not for him!

Brothers and sisters against baths, unite!! ;) Hugs, B

I always know when my moms going to give me a bath...I try to run away, but it never works. But its not that bad I guess, cuz I always get a treat when we're done!!
