There’s Mold In Our Shower
by Ed DeCaria
There’s mold in our shower, it’s grown by the hour,
I’m practically covered in green.
The tiles are fuzzy, the curtain is skuzzy,
I’m warning you: it’s quite a scene.
The soap and shampoo left a thick residue so
I don’t feel especially clean.
I’d hoped to feel better, but now I’m just wetter
And dirty and moody and mean.

I’m certain I’m not the first or last to be grossed out by the presence of mold or mildew in the shower. One particular time I recall being so disgusted that I hopped out, grabbed a bathing suit and a scrub brush, and didn’t stop cleaning until I had ripped the decayed strips of caulking out. Thought this poem captured the mood quite well.
Got any funny shower stories?

I am also not a big fan of mold. I have been in showers where it was covering the ceiling and… uh… no, I didn’t feel clean no matter what. And I think it’s hard to ever see the surface as clean again – very lady Macbeth, I know.
Welcome to the blogosphere!
My first visitor, and unsolicited at that! Thanks, Greg. Appreciate the support and as I think you know, I am a big fan of Gotta Book (see ‘Troublemakers’ links at right).
We just bought a new house. I love everything about the house, but our shower. It looks like it is held together by silicone — the installer must of used 6 tubes! There is no way it is going to leak. When I come into some money — the shower is the first thing to go!
This is funny and icky at the same time. I like it!
Thanks, Amy. Most kids’ entire lives are funny and icky at the same time, so I’d say this fits the bill!
Ed, your comments are as funny as your poetry. I think I just became a stalker.
