I didn't need a pair of scissors; glistening wildly in yellow Sunlight, 

 

I didn't need a knife; protruding gallantly from the slender handle, 

 

I didn't need a hostile blade; with edges as sharp as a savage vulture, 

 

I didn't need after shave cologne; emanating a scent more stupendous than the rose, 

 

I didn't need a pungent slab of aluminum; having its surface as smooth as white ice, 

 

I didn't need a soft sponge; with its body profusely dipped in tingling antiseptic, 

 

I didn't need tablets of colored soap; evolving a bath of bubbles after vigorous scrubbing, 

 

I didn't need high pressured foam; diffusing into a stream of spicy froth the instant I compressed it, 

 

I didn't need long spools of cotton; triangular heaps of bandages to drape across my wounds, 

 

I didn't need shimmering tweezers of pure steel; to scrupulously pluck my hair, 

 

I didn't need sleazy colored dye; with its shade resembling rotten vegetables decaying in the dark, 

 

I didn't need a blow dryer; ejecting out tones of hot air at whirlwind speeds, 

 

I didn't need a barrel of vanity powder; to spuriously illuminate the contours of my face, 

 

I didn't need a bowl of moisturizing cream; to incessantly massage each pore of my skin, 

 

I didn't need sizzling face pads; to caress the breath flowing harmoniously out of my nose, 

 

I didn't need a mirror; to admire my reflection for marathon hours in the 

scintillating glass incorporated within, 

 

I didn't even need to waste a single second more in the morning; reaching the office well before the boss came in, 

And the strange thing was; that even if someone donated all the above contraptions to me completely free; I still would blatantly reject them, 

 

By now you must be at the edge of your seats to know the secret of my existence; well the answer to this is more simpler than your voice; as I didn't have even
