Bathtubby

I stride through my nursery domain / And the bathtubby ocean I scan; / While faithfully march in my train / Weird creatures of cotton and bran.

I think opera recordings which present these big bathtubby sounds in extremely prominent positions, the way they would never be in the context of the opera, are a mistake, to my ear. I don't like that.

Water creeps up my neck, warm and bathtubby.
