Bathroom (not so) Suite
Listen to Colin's poem ...
There’s something really nasty down the plug hole,
There’s something really nasty down the sink,
There is something really troubling
With its burbling and bubbling,
And quite what it is, I really dread to think.
There’s something really weird about the bathtub,
There’s something really weird about the taps,

They are really grim and grimy,
And the water comes out slimy,
And I’m scared it is polluted too, perhaps.
There’s something really spooky down the toilet,
There’s something really spooky round the bend,
And it’s really out to get me,
But if it would only let me
Get away, then all my misery might end!
There’s something really nasty down the sink,

And quite what it is, I really dread to think.
There’s something really weird about the bathtub,
There’s something really weird about the taps,
