The washing monster and friends
By Stephanie Sideways
The washing monster
How it grows
It's fed well
On our dirty clothes
Relentlessly
We do attack
But by the next day
It's grown back
He has a friend
That's equally vile
It calls itself
The ironing pile
The ironing pile
I don't even start
I bury its parts
Once I've torn it apart
And then as my body
Is hungry for clothes
Might give an iron lick
If it needs, I suppose
The washing up witch
Gets a boiling from hell
She's hard to ignore
So she doesn't last well
The dust and dirt devil
He spreads his self thin
Barely there, if I squint
So I can live with him

~looks at his own mounting pile of laundry & shakes head~.....I know, I know, I keep putting it off. Fun little work, Ms. Sideways, sometimes we deserve a break of from the suffocating darkness & slithering horrors offered on this site. Certainly brought a well-timed smile...thanks :)

Recommend only permanent press or drip dry perhaps. This made me glad to be a man (I used to do my own laundry in the Air Force), cheers Stephy, thanks!
