Soap

Roberto Suárez Torres

Limerick
There once was a man named Soap,
who chose his skin with filth to grope;
never once he felt unclean,
in gross seas which were fain seen
by prigs who the deep sight did not mope.

    This limerick cleverly plays with the irony of a man named Soap finding contentment in filth, showcasing a humorous twist on cleanliness and perception. The contrast between the man's comfort with dirt and others' views of him adds a playful touch to the poem's theme.
