AN ODE TO SHOWER RESTORATION

Gather round, good folk, and hear my tale

Of regrouting a shower, lest ye fail

To keep thy tiles safe and sound

From water leaks that doth abound.

To start, take thy grout saw or electric tool

And remove the old grout, lest it be cruel

To let it crack or deteriorate

And let water through, it is thy fate.

Next, mix thy new grout as the package doth say

And apply it with thy grout float, in a precise way

Fill every gap and joint completely

And let it dry, it will set neatly.

Once dry, wipe away excess grout with a sponge

And smooth the surface, lest it look dung

Then apply silicone caulk to the edge

Where tiles meet the shower pan, a worthy pledge.

The benefits of regrouting, ye shall see

Are plenty, for it protects thy tiles, it be

From water damage that causes rot and mold

And saves thee from costly repairs, so be bold.

And if ye don’t regrout, the consequences will come

Of water seeping through, it won’t be fun

For mold will grow, and tiles will crack

And repairs will be costly, it’s a fact.

So heed my words, dear folk, and take care

To regrout thy shower, if thou dost dare

To keep thy tiles safe from water’s harm

And thy shower looking fresh and warm.
