Clean Fleet and Feet

JESUS BETANCOURT

Rhymed
Childhood amusement participated in bathtub washing
Floating paper boats before started sinking
Captain's papier-mâché hat worn lathering
Clean Fleet and Feet swelled oversoaking

Wrinkled toes evidence skin was pruning
Mamma pulled me during tantrum protesting
Unaware of fleet she was ruining
Vowed to return next time bathing
