Once upon a time, You know this will rhyme, Were three brothers & a sister, Living through life most sublime, Inspired awe did they while to the heavens they did climb… They are halfway up, if up is the way to transcend, To the Gods from our Ma did they get sent, Passing GO & collecting their 200 dollars, None of which, including this one is a scholar, Though I am over and above the rest, Wearing deodorant to cover up, if any, a disgusting scent… Hell, they don’t even shower, *And if your lucky, THEY “might”* use soap, You gotta have lived with this bunch, To realize what herein of I speak, Twas’ cause for a family party, When they took more than one bath in a week…** © ed - 2/10/10

Ed,

Well, you know you should take a bath at least once a year...whether you need it or not!

if you/they'd lived even two hundred years' ago, you wouldn't have taken a bath more than every few MONTHS! Think of all them clothes to be takin off... on second thoughts, don't... Ach well, you leave us here with itchin nostrils and a lingering sense that you smell like you HAVE been alive for a few hundred years' or more... Still, it's all in the family, so to speak! :)) xx
