There was a young boy whose name was Steve
For whom washing was the biggest peeve
He was begged to shower
As he stank by the hour
But he refused and was asked to leave
(C) Sanch @ Living my Imperfect Life
Note: Ablutophobia is the fear of washing or bathing.

2 April 2015 at 2:51 amI pity Steve’s folk
It’s certainly no joke
To live with the stink
What would the neighbours think?
Into hot water
Stinky Steve must go
They should brook no quarter
And endure it no more! 😛

4 April 2015 at 5:37 pmThat sure is a stinky phobia! 😉 An interesting phobia as all phobias are…I think they come to us from past lives…. 😉 <3
elly stornebrink recently posted…#A to Z Challenge: C is for Courage
Sanch @ Living my Imperfect Life
4 April 2015 at 6:29 pmNow that’s interesting about the past life Elly…my understanding of phobias is that they tend to be learnt either through a bad experience personally or vicariously.
