I'm thinking about hand washing. Supposedly one needs to wash for 20 seconds. That's the foamy rubbing part, not including the pre-wetting, getting the soap, rinsing, or drying. I heard that one should mentally sing the alphabet song because that's 20 seconds. I timed myself and out loud it is about 20 seconds for me. In my head, well, I rush. The alphabet song is to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". It seems to me that we could come up with much better handwashing lyrics.


Since it's trochaic tetrameter, I find that many things suit:
Foaming Soaping Cleaning hands
washing rubbing bubbly hands
water soaping lather wash

Interestingly the tune appears to be even older (1761) and adapted by Mozart. [Wiki]

It's silly, I know, but I think it would really help.
