Nein! Nein! Nein! It's bathtub time
should cleanse the guilty and sublime
Staring, daring in the raw to
bubble up within Grimm's law
Praying, staring at the door
the slightest noise one can't ignore
Eva's razor left behind, no Braun
to make sure her blades glide
Dirty, flirty boots to clean
a fuhrer's passion so pristine
Quelling, smelling, edelwiess
few words said but so concise
Actor, factor, years to come
secrets washed with bath ring scum
Nein Nein Nein! It's bathtub time
be careful with that dirt and grime
Hates, berates each finest hour
refuse his offer of a shower.............................

that has rhythm ....like a march...well done !
I love it! Done like a Hitler march. Refuse the shower!
Definitely reflects the creepiness of someone (anyone!) trying to find cleanliness in Hitler's tub. And these lines:
"Actor, factor, years to come
secrets washed with bath ring scum"
cringe inducers.
Sounds like a song.
So much said here in so few words. Conjurs up a stark picture. So well written.
And so life continued on peacefully for Addi and Eva at the Post war Nazi Antarctic base ....
I love the unique flow of this one :)
this is a little more serious than I was ready for... A lovely poem nonetheless!
very clever poem, well written.
very well done
Nicely expressed :)
Excellent use of rhyme and rhythm to convey a brutal image.
