/// It is bath time on Saturday Night,
these three’s overworked Mom’s weekly plight.
In the tub the kids plunge
‘til one throws in the sponge,
thereby ending their long water fight.
/// Parents’ parlor converts to a bath.
From the tub you can follow a path.
Wet soapy footprints,
(they neglected to rinse),
will cause Papa to show them his wrath.
/// Girl and boys bathe together en masse,
yet embarrassment won’t come to pass.
At that age, in this time,
such things aren’t a crime;
no big deal to see sibling’s bare ass.
/// In that tub Pa committed a sin
with the serving girl (both in bare skin).
Mama caught them mid-scrub,
threw the “babe” from the tub
with the bathwater both had been in.
