Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 First Bath

Mary and Joseph did believe

Cleanliness next to Godliness.

Time came for Jesus to achieve

First baby bath and nothing less.

While Mary was filling the tub,

Joseph made a trip to the store

For the items needed to rub

Jesus clean as never before.

When the bathwater was just right,

The parents had Jesus all bare.

The baby seemed to have no fright,

As lowered to the water there.

Joseph and Mary were dismayed.

On top the water, Jesus stayed.
