Spa Day

It's been a while

Since I've spent an

At home

Spa Day

I woke up this morning

After eight hours

Of snoring

That today

Is the day

Of my

Do-It-Yourself

Spa Day

I have everything I need

All of my ingredients

To do the deed

Salt

To scrub up nice

Smooths my skin

To entice

(naughty)

A bit of acid

For my face

Cause it's looking

A mite insipid

And a special light

For my teeth

To keep them

Sparkling white

And of course

A manicure

For my digits

And a pedicure

For my toes

Some tea bags

I've saved

For my eyes

So I can kiss

All my baggages

Goodbye

A leave-in

Conditioning treatment

For my hair

To keep my waves soft

My long strands

Require a lot of care

Yes, today is

Spa Day

Not Spa Hour

Or Spa Minute

Because it takes

All day

Of hard work

To preserve

These looks

I'm sounding

A bit vain

I know

But I intend

To fight to the end

The aging

That descends

On us all

Grow old gracefully?

Oh hell no!

That's my motto!
