I Had a Shower Today.

Goldfinch60



I had a shower today,

In my life I regularly take them,

Whether I need them or not.

There are those special days,

The first one was at thirteen,

Reaching my teenage years.

Then there was twenty one,

The key of the door became mine.

Every birthday with a zero on the end,

Was special as well,

And a thorough shower was had.

Then there was the sixty fifth,

Where work was washed away.

And now there is today,

Another special day,

Where I will have another shower,

My seventieth shower.

    Congratulations Andy - a special day indeed - I got there five years ago and saving up for some more soap for my next shower in five years time - enjoyed the fun write.

      Thank you Michael - it was a good day.

      Happy Birthday wishes Gold. But with the date system on here, your birthday is 10/6, not 6/10. Is that your 'official' birthday, like the Queen?!
      A comedy film had a line 'Everything in moderation; I never overdo things; I take a bath once a year!'

      • Goldfinch60

        Once a year is good enough whether you need it or not.

        Andy,

        So you take a shower once a year? I just want to make sure you have plenty of champagne to shower with!

          Thank you so much Laura, and thank you for the champagne, it can be difficult sometimes to get the champagne bubbles to go down the plughole.

            Congratulations on surviving so many challenges. Can't say you've made it look easy but at least we're not reading about you in the papers!
            Long may you continue to shower!
