--Marriage, My Friends, is Like a Hot Bath-- Marriage, my friends, is like a hot bath -- It looks and it feels so inviting. You can't wait to soak from your head to your toes since it looks to be warm and exciting! You're naked, my friends, and the bubbles entice as you yearn for that warm cozy feeling... of water so hot that it makes you feel nice as it sends your head off to the ceiling! But when you get in it, it isn't so hot -- in fact the hot wears off quite quickly! And if you stay in it too long, my dear friends, you'll find that it makes you feel sickly. The water sits there in the bath while you soak and the soap suds with magnet attractions grab dirt and debris that will sit on the top of the surface and wait for reactions.... Your skin can break out if you stay there too long while the water stagnates like a sewer. You'll lie there and wonder if you can get out and you'll want a hot bath that's much newer. Yep, marriage, my friends, is a bath in the tub and you'd better think twice while it's running... 'cause if you decide to jump in and to soak, you'll find the hot water quite cunning. When thinking of marriage, please think of your bath and think twice 'fore heading for soaking. 'Cause marriage, I tell you, is like a hot bath. It ain't all that hot! I ain't joking! signed, Justin Thyme recent escapee [This message has been edited by Justin Thyme (edited 05-04-2000).] |

Sounds like you got out justin thyme. But, you know you never know till you soaked awhile...myself, I like a quick shower. Seriously, this is very sad, and I've been there so I know what you mean, and besides all that, it's written well. |

I took a warm shower when I first got out, but it didn't do really much good. There was stagnant water afloat in the tub and it didn't drain how that it should. I quick got the plunger and plunged with my might but the water, it just wouldn't drain. I guess that next time I will shower instead, or simply stay out in the rain.

Why Justin my friend there you go again spouting right off like a faucet For some it might seem an impossible dream and they just give up and do toss it But I'm here to say there are some who will stay I like to think they know better They live out their lives put the gear-box in drive and don't seem to mind a few fetters |

I never talked of fetters. I never spoke of rope. I only said a bath is hot at first, when there is soap. But when the soap has bubbled, you quickly lose its hold, then all you find that you have left is bath water that's cold. I don't know what you speak of Moose. I think you are insane. It was a bath I spoke about... how could I be more plain?  |

I am a firm believer of a nice shared hot bath but when it gets cold and icky -- and I have tried to keep the water hot I like to jump out of the pot into the fire --) It's a great poem Justin ---) Hope you find what you are dreamin' takes two to work out problems, and if they don't get worked out, the darn problems play follow the leader netswan |

Marriage can be like a sauna 'Specially if you picked an iguana Or just like a bath in burning fat If you're stuck in there with a rat. Marriage can be like a real cesspool If you chose to share it with a fool Or like a dip in a pirahna pond Or quicksand or lava something beyond. But if you share it with the right one It's a bath filled with joy that will never be done In a tub full of honey and everything nice And a shower of good fortune that carries no price So, if you are drowning, before you say "GLUB!" Blame your selection but don't blame the tub! |

Well Angel is laughing! I'm glad of that! This poem was a little dumb joke! You all are so serious here tonight! All sensitive kinda folk! Right now I'd like to take a bath but the bathtub's on the blink. It's backing up fast from the john on the right and some more from the kitchen sink. So, what can I do but laugh outloud and write a bathtub verse. You guys are way too serious and my drain is getting worse! When the plumber gets here, I guess I'll be back to see if some people can grin. And when he is through, what else can I do? But take a cold shower again. |

I think it's time for a warm compress placed just so upon your chest a nice back rub and then we'll see just how funny you want to be Cause while I was crying for your plight all your tub needed was dynamite So, enough jesting, Justin!! |

Be nice to my friend, Justin, please! She suffers from multiple personality disorder. And not only that, there's a major plumbing problem and a dissolved marriage and there's nowhere for the rubbish to go. Thank you. |

Marriage is: A pile of dirty dishes and a yard that always needs to be mowed... Romance is: Doing them without asking/being axed...and without complaining.... Very caustic suds here Jusin... ;-) |

My house smells like a cesspool. I think I've gone insane. This backed up mess is very rude and eating out my brain. I have some personalities to quickly take my place. I'm glad they're here because, my friends, they'll be my saving grace. One thing I know 'bout marriage is it's an institute and that's a fact, you know, my friends, a fact you can't refute. And if the plumber doesn't show to fix these the stopped up drain, I think I'll be back in the 'stute (the other one), insane. |

okay I have a remedy cause I've been there before you get your keys and take yourself to the good old hardware store. You buy a plumber's helper that fits right on your hose and stick it in the pipe, you see, way down inside it goes. Then just turn on the water and listen to it purrrr and if this doesn't work for you then all I can say is grrrrr. |

I used to have a hot bath, it once fit quite well, but then I suffered it's rath and went down drain hell. I've done everything in my power, to stand tall once again, and now I just take showers, singing alleluja and amen! Cor |

the lesson here to learn is this when hot baths turn to cold a plumber's helper would be nice at least that's what i'm told but i'm a lady single who will say i recommend that it would be preferable to shower with a friend |
