Have you ever been in the bath

and you just can't find the soap

and no matter how you reach about

you haven't got a hop.

Then suddenly you feel a tickle

at the end of your big toe

but by the time you reach for it

you find you been to slow.

Determined not to be beaten

you stand up in the bath

spot yourself in the mirror

and have a little laugh.

Then fishing about on hands and knees

you finally find your prize

but it slips right through your fingers

right before your eyes.
