Them's The Rules

Passing a smell test at 9 A.M.
before you've accomplished anything
is about as useful as
kicking a car's tires
to see if there is any gas left in its tank.

The moment sweat begins to bead
the rest of the world will ascertain
you have not showered in three days.

Scrub brush is on the rack.
Soap is on the shelf.
The hot takes a minute to warm up.
What am I saying,
you know the drill.
