Ooh, That Smell!

Nancy's Notes 🖊️♬

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!”

  1. Annual? Gee my father was stricter than that. He always insisted on, “A bath every Saturday, whether you need it or not.” (It was a running joke in our house, some thing from his childhood.)
