Memories of my father’s morning
Shaving soap
Gillete adjustable razor
A boar-bristle, bone-handled brush
Nestled in a yellow mug
A little water, just the right amount of swirling
Apply gently, shave carefully
Rinse, towel off
Amen’s medicated talc
Apply liberally to both feet
before putting on socks
Dab a little more
in each arm pit
Colgate tooth powder
Pour into the palm, wet the toothbrush
dab the powder
Brush, rinse, spit
A black plastic fine-toothed comb
Wet your head
Comb hair into place
Brylcreem
A little dab’ll do ya
