Tommy, Do the Dishes
Whirling water flowing down the kitchen drain
Could I take a ride into your falling rain?
I would like to venture into pipes below
Ride your waves of bubbles, just before they blow
I haven’t got a clue where you like to go
Who you like to be with, and what you like to grow
Your life is so alluring, you mix with everything
I like the way you gurgle, when the disposal starts to sing
You splash and you splutter, you are a fine perfume
You think like a washer and you sweep like a broom
It is good to have you, to wash away our waste
You are even great at cleaning up toothpaste
If only I could journey into your water world
I could be the greatest friend you have ever twirled
Gravity pulls you down, down where there is grime
It would be so much fun to play in all that slime

Oh yeah?
The last line lets me know that you are a kid at heart. That one can reach a crescendo with drainage slime takes a peculiar mindset.

Mark,
You are right...there is a kid in me...for sure. I think a slide down a drain pipe would be interesting. However, a romantic trip to Paris would be charming too.
When I was young, my Mom always encouraged me to explore. Exploration is what today's children need to do, play in the mud. Most of our youth's muscles are in their hands...all the electronic toys.
Warm regards,
Kathy
