Bathtime thoughts – a Eureka moment!









Fizzy baths used to come in cubes
With scents like - lily of the valley.
The kind of gift you picked up,
Perfect for your granny.



Now there are bombs and cupcake shapes,
Peach Bellini, sugar frosted
Cosmopolitan and glittery
You’d open these quite happily
Delighted at such
a thoughtful gift…



But really what’s the difference?
They crumble just the same
As the cubes of yesteryear.
The ones you’d hide in the back of the wardrobe.
No one liked to be presented, 
with "old lady" gifts like these!


But now they're reinvented
For the modern world,
Pop one in the bath
And let the cocktail swirl!
