Is it really because of the paranoia,
Or the shameful receiving of a glare,
As you eat your pesto pasta?
Don't blame yourself,
Blame the garlic.
Blame everything on anything
Except yourself
(Have no qualms everyone does it)

'Why are you having a shower now,
You only had one this morning?'
Quick. Think. Make it obvious.
'Oh, I smell you see'.
Sublime excuse.

But this is not the reason.
Shower to remove sins?
By part tis true,
Showering washes away
The layer of **** that the world
Dumps on you throughout the day.

We shower to relive.
The added bonus is that after
We smell  divine.
