French la Vie, Taking a Bath

                   

 

 

Carry the tub outside.

Under my arm, I will hold the champagne.

Along the way wildflowers gathered,

tossing them in the tub.

Oh, those wisps of delight.

Fill the tub with the garden hose 

Gunna, let it overflow to water the garden at the same time.

Take clothes off,

then toss them far out of sight.

Dip a toe, doesn't matter if it is hot or cold, dive in.

Drink straight from the bottle,

Turn up nature's radio listen:

To the owl's hoot and the shooting stars.

With a watery wildflower wreath, I am going to run and jump in bed wrapping the sheet around me

like a butterfly cocoon.

 

Why do I do the same thing, the same way, each day?

    Yep, all that sounds good. 😉

  2. I have been wanting to do just this for a long time, maybe it is time.

  4. Sounds like something I might do after slaving under the hot sun in the garden all day, cold water from the hose would feel great…but for the most part…give me my warm bubble bath in my cast iron claw foot tub any day! Adding a bottle of wine is optional of course 🙂 Of course, a dip in the running brook is also inviting, except for the snakes and other creatures that live there.
