Sucking The Flannel
Sat in the bath,
sucking on the flannel.
Pretending I'm on a boat,
sailing the english channel.
Body skin folding,
as the water gets cold.
Sat in the bath,
cleaning off the mould.
Sucking on the flannel,
in the nostalgia ridden tub.
Sat in the bath,
playing with my sub.
I haven't heard anyone refer to a cloth as a 'flannel' in quite a long time.
So had to write a poem about when I used to suck on them in the bath.
I had to look the word up because I thought my crazy mind might of invented it or something.
I stumbled across this piece of information:
'..in some countries (e.g. the United Kingdom), it is illegal to sell flannelettes under the name 'flannel'.'
wtf? Gaaaaaaaaayy. (as the kids say).

I think so, I only realised it was amusing after I posted and read it.

Terrible, terrible rhymig PG. But, god bless me, loved it anyway.
I love flannels - fantastic invention. You can't buy them in Gibraltar though.
Dreadful really.
