Frightening
Doggerel
Washed
Up: ablutophobia
He really
hated using soap.
His
mother, not forsaking hope,
Would on
occasions give him bars—
To no
effect. She tried some jars
Of fancy
stuff. To no effect.
She knew
that women would object
To his
odoriferous estate:
No wife,
no children—really great.
And when
he died, the air was glad—
Unpleasant
years, the air had had.
St. Peter
smelled him on the way
And left a
note: We’re closed today.
And Satan
too abhorred the smell
And cried
aloud: You'll ruin Hell!
