SOAP, THE OPPRESSOR

The folks at home half the time are thinkin' about dirt;

It sort of gives 'em horrors an' they act as if it hurt;

The sight of just a little makes 'em daffy as can be-

They're always washin' somethin', and half the time it's me.

It ain't because I wet my feet that gives me colds and such;

"Tain't runnin' round that keeps me thin-it's cause I'm washed too much.

***

It does no good to tell 'em, they're so stubborn, but I hope

That some day they'll discover what deceitful stuff is soap.

I tell you very often when my hands was clean and white

I've gone along to wash 'em 'cause it did no good to fight.

When I stuck'em in the basin, it was plain enough to see

The soap would make the water as dirty as could be.

If folks would give me half a chance with soap that didn't cheat,

I guess they'd be surprised to find I'm nacherally neat;

I'd take on flesh and leave off havin' colds and' such, I know.

And no one would complain about the parts of me that show.

Zentangle with a Twist Challenge

Lightening Bolt

This week challenge we are to zentangle a ATC with a lightening bolt somewhere on the card. This card here represent my feelings from this past week which I spent with my family. My heart goes out with love and the lightening bolt represent the strike of sadness upon having to leave them. My little nephew and niece are so precious growing up so fast and my parents are aging.

Time is flying by.
