Stormy Bathtub Seas

every night at 7 precisely on the dot
I scurried up to the bathroom, a tiny little tot
I filled the tub with perfect water, not a bit too hot
and I lowered myself in with a little toy yacht

I set it afloat in the steamy water
and meanwhile the room got hotter and hotter
I created tidal waves and hurricanes all in one fell swoop
and little tiny soldiers fell to a deck called poop.

Sometimes daddy came along
and made the sailors sing a song
but I was creator of storm and gale
and I was creator of wind and hail.

The boat tossed about on stormy bathtub seas
as I scrubbed and scrubbed from my ears to my knees
after ahoy matey! and thar she blows!
I knew it was time to get in my bedtime clothes.

So out of the seas I brought my legs
and toy boat came out, after many begs
and rested its keel upon the sink
to be used again at the signal of a wink.

Reason for writing:

    
when i was like two i had a little toy boat and I made it sail
in the bathtub.
