Written for Esther’s Laughing Along
With A Limerick. The prompt word
is ‘bath’ and this is my limerick.

A stubborn old farmer named Wrath
Went down a malodorous path
To save on the water
He told his ripe daughter
“It ain’t time for your annual bath!”

She’s got a right mind to put the pitchfork where the sun don’t shine! Clever and pungent poetry. 🎶
