Drying Off the Counter

DeDe A. Reid

Drying off the Counter
DeDe A. Reid

Splish splash they wash their hands and wet up the counter and sink.

Drying off the counter would be nice for the next person, don't you think?

Setting your cellphone or purse down into something nice and wet; what do you have to gain?

Nothing!
Wash your hands, and dry off your splash; and stop being a messy pain!
