Soap And Water

May I ask,

A favor, small.

A little something,

Not much at all.

 

It’s been a while,

Week and a half,

Since you’ve washed,

You need a bath.

 

I just want,

To run and hide.

When you come close,

It’s like low tide.

 

Might splash perfume,

No, don’t bother.

Won’t do the job,

Like soap and water.

 

How can anyone,

Just not bathe?

I’m pleading with you,

Please, just behave.

 

I sympathize,

For you, no fun.

You’re just a puppy,

Rather play and run.

 

So, get in the tub,

And, soak a while.

You’ll feel much better,

My nose will smile.

 

We’ll brush your teeth,

Dry with a towel,

You’ll look great,

And, fresh not foul.
