A pattern poem.
It defies our imagination:
Ancient people discovered
That a prepared mixture of
Animal fat and wood ashes
Could make them feel clean.
It questions our sanity:
Only humans would
Consider taking a bath in
The very same things
That made them feel dirty.
It boggles our minds:
Is it more amazing
That such a crazy idea worked
Or that soap became so
Important to modern living?
