I'm in the bath tub.
That's just a fact, son.
So, whatever the need, the request, or the trouble,
It will have to wait til there's no more bubbles.
I'll be out in an hour.
Wait, maybe a day...
Or I may stay here soaking
Til well into May.

Ah, I'm taking this as my mantra.
Laughing - this is so clever!
LOL! I want this enlarged and put up outside my bathroom!!! You hear me my boys? I am in the bath!!!
Heheheh. Oh yes. My most recent song ends a little like that (cinderbridge.blogspot.com/2010/08/best-that-i-can-do.html). Nice to know it's not just me.
Short and sweet.
I've been seeing this Magpie fever around a lot lately, lots of fun posts to read.

what bliss!!!!!
This is so delightful, Fireblossom.

Thanks, Fireblossom - I am practising how it sounds...
hehe. nicely played shay....how deep are the pruney toe wrinkles you get from being in there so long at that point..hmm...smiles.
Never disturb the lady in the tub. Ever. Doesn't everybody know this?
I've heard of these tubs.
The tub seems so much like I'm soaking in Butt soup.
Nope, I'm a shower guy ;-)
Shay this is so charming and awesome...i want these words to put on a plaque in the bathroom!
:-) I love it!!
a mom's refuge.
How you relax me in just a few lines I'll never know...but I love it!
In our apartment in the mornings when I am no longer in the loo ToonMan will call out from the bedroom 'hello?' .. and I yell, er, reply 'Its free' ..
lol! You're gonna have those wrinky fingers and toes ;)
All houses need two bathrooms! lol :)
I do understand the logic behind having all water facilities in the same room. However, my soul would find so much deeper satisfaction if the tub and the toilet were in separate spaces, preferably at opposite ends of the house.

I love this! Remembering the days, four children, one bathroom!!!
I can relate to this one. I immediately thought of my son-in-law. Just him and five females in the house. One bathroom.....at the moment!
I can totally relate...if I ever had a chance to take a bath.
OMG I LOVE LUB LUB this...LUB in da TUB this!!! I think it's the same way in my life now...the tub is my casbah and get away!!!

ah yes- as a single mom my mantra was as I came in the door after work " Let me take my quick little bath and then I will fix dinner/listen to you/check your home work/ etc" It worked as I was always a nicer mom after my quick little bath!
Sweet as a Summer confection!

Hahaha!
But, did it buy you any time?
So lovely - I can relate to this - had two adults and two kids in a house with one bathroom all their growing up years, now they are married and just us two adults we have two bathrooms ;-)
Love your words 'Til well into may'.
Lovely fun filled poem by a bad mother! Poor little boy, hope there was a lemon tree in the back yard! :-)
yes, you may
sty
until
may,
this line makes me smile....
what a playful and fun tale.
who cares about the reality when we play innocent word games like this
your tale is a enjoyable bliss.
i know this so well - it made me smile - it will have to wait till there's no more bubbles! must remember that, i'll be quoting you!
I consider that good training. It'll come in handy later in life.
Great take Fireblossom...I have never been one for baths...but I love the ending on this piece...flows so nicely....you can read this comment when you get out from your bath....blessings...bkm
haha :D very clever..!

great one - maybe you've already webs growing between your toes - poor son…smiles
my magpie is here
Totally love this! I bet every mother understands.
you always have such an awesomely unique speaker in your poems, the rhythmns are so sully grounding, they grab you right into the poem.
Ah, so clever and hilarious... I wonder what would happen to me if my mother had told me so... very smart piece
Oho...I like her plan... but then again, poor Joe...
Very nicely written !!! :)
I like your attitude! Great Magpie.
