Pink walls, pink sink, pink bowl, pink bath

Broken up with reds, whites, and some brass
A pretty little room in which bathing daily ...
Never's a chore, but pleasure undertaken gaily

Immersed in warm water surrounded by color
Bright reds and pinks, with trim which covers
Edges of all the various pieces, joined to walls
In bright shiny brass, something which pulls ...

A heart warmed by all of the various parts
Deeply gladdened choices were not hard
When decisions were made to rebuild all
Away from blues that did crumble and fall

And then those red, white and brass accents
Were touches inspired and quite heaven-sent
A red sink faucet, along with plastic soap dish
Matched tumbler, red cup dispenser, and tish ...

Being a red plastic tissue dispenser box cover
Yet another piece to break up the pink smother
Which blends so well with bodies freshly wet
From daily cleansing and soaking - a best bet

- Tristram
