An Ode To Hand Sanitizer

Oh, dear hand sanitizer,
I feel like I've grown closer to you.

Since...... well....... that incident,
I became a little too intimate.

First it was one pump, then another,
One taste, then another,

One look, towards another,
One lick, then another

One bottle, then another,
I must admit, that I am an addict.

I need you in my life,
to sanitize,

And life without you would be........
I'm beginning to lose my sanity,

You taste like a bar of soap,
soaked in alcohols and chemicals,

But to me, you taste like peaches and pie
What a delicate surprise

I love you, and I know you love me,
You always get my hands clean.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For school, I had to write an ode to an object that I had a personal experience with, I became addicted to consuming hand sanitizer.
