The Luxury of a Bath

Normally I’m a shower kind of guy,
But once in a while
If I’m really beat,
Or if I have been
On a long and arduous trip,
I like to soak
And ease my tired body.

The very best baths I ever had
Were in Bangkok, Thailand
After journeying 36 hours straight
On the train from Yala.
I would get a sponge bath
Capped off with a massage
And I could sleep like a baby after that.

A bath is awesome gift to myself
Whenever I am sick.
Once when I had the flu,
I rented a room
That had a Jacuzzi inside
And I soaked in that thing
All night long.

I like hot springs too
Where I can alternate
Between hot and cold
And when I am done,
I’ll get a massage,
Then conclude the day
At the finest restaurant in town.

I think someday
I’ll get a place
With a good sized tub
And a woman
Who likes to soak,
And every now and then
I will ease on in and join her.
