SOAP

Twas the most unusual of gifts — a hamper full of different soaps! Now don’t make fun of me, dear readers, for receiving this gift.

I’m sure there will be many who will say, ‘Bob, you must have raised a stink with the speech you gave for them to have given you soap! Or maybe you used too many four-letter words, and the soap was to have your mouth washed so you would talk clean next time?’

I’m not sure, dear folks, but twice I spoke in the same school, and twice I got a hamper of soaps! There they lay all wrapped and lying in my cupboard, looking quite forlorn, as day after day I used sophisticated shampoo instead, and handwash and body wash from the U.S. and ignored those lowly soaps lying in my cupboard.

Till the Coronavirus came along!
