BUBBLE BATH
Mike Berger, PhD
I wondered whether it was like
to take a bubble bath. Born in
the depression, we were too poor
for such frivolous things.
I was too macho for such wussy
things when I was in my teens.
I wouldn’t get caught dead in the bath
with 1 million bubbles while I was going
to college.
I didn’t have time after I graduated
to indulge in such a frivolity. It was
a quick shower and off to the grind.
Now I’m retired and my wife works.
At last I have my chance. I started
the water and poured in a bottle
of a bubble bath.
Bubbles fill the tub and overflowed
obscuring the bathroom floor. Soon
the stuff was up to my knees. I
struggled to find the tap to turn the
water off.
As I stand here looking at the mess;
I ask what do you do with 1 million bubbles?
I’ll worry about it after my bath.
