“I don’t want to take a shower”

It’s shower time! Said mom and dad,
Whenever they say that I get really sad.
I hate standing there, and getting all wet,
I’d rather be playing, on that you can bet.
So, for awhile I pretended, to get myself clean,
I turned on the water, then did something mean.
I wet my hair from the bathroom sink,
And I washed my face til it turned really pink.
After awhile, I turned off the flow,
So far my parents didn’t even know.
I come out of the bathroom all ready for bed,
Pretending to be clean, but I was still dirty instead.
A few weeks went by, my scheme working just fine,
But then I noticed, all those friends of mine,
Stopped coming around, to play after school,
I wondered if maybe I was no longer cool.
Whenever I called them, they had something else going on,
“I’m busy today” they said. Then they were gone.
I wandered around, thinking, what bad thing did I do?
Then my sister walked by, and said, “pee-u!”
“You smell like a pig! Why is that stink?”
And she ran far away, a big blur of pink.
I stink? I thought, now how could that be?
I don’t smell anything bad, just little ‘ole me!
But as I walked down the street, people held on to their noses,
It was clear that the smell was nothing like roses.
That night I decided it was time to get clean,
I was of tired of people being so mean.
The water was brown as it went down the drain,
And I noticed my color was no longer like stain.
My old life resumed, all my friends came back,
I no longer smelled like an old garbage sack.
Now I shower each night, I scrub ‘til I shine,
I’m clean as a whistle, and I’m feelin’ just fine!
