The Bath

Why is the bath so much shorter than my bed?
Twisting my knees up near my head.

Boiling, freezing, sometimes just right,
but never the top half that shivers in sight.

Down the plughole it sounds like a fart,
gurgle gurgle as it departs.

North or Irish, Atlantic or Channel,
Where-ever it ends up, it's been on my flannel.

Whilst the steam from a shower, clears head,
why is the bath so much shorter than my bed?
