Various Bathroom Mirrors
Everyone needs to use public bathrooms, and most public bathrooms have posters or stickers encouraging hand washing.
Lather and Lyric plays off of this scenario with bathroom mirror stickers instructing patrons to wash their hands for the duration of time it takes to read the poem on the sticker.
At approximately 60-70 words, or two 4-line stanzas, the poem meets the CDC-recommended hand-washing duration of 20 seconds.
