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!”

The Elephant's Trunk 
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.)

For sure! I can remember my parents talking about Saturday night baths back in Sicily, but that was long before my time, fortunately!
