Oh laundry! You start off like a seed,
planted in the depths of the hamper.
You are added to day after day.
You grow whether there is sun or rain,
you never stop.
The pile grows higher
reaching above the top
until you overflow,
spilling out onto the floor.
I cannot keep up with you.
You grow too fast.
There are only two of us,
what if there were more?
Monday is wash day.
I work all day long.
The pile grows smaller,
and then it is gone.
All folded neatly
laid on the bed.
Put away in the drawers
until the next day.
Then comes the seed,
it starts all over again.
The whole week goes by,
the laundry never ends.

Interviewed a lady from Grand Rapids today. Made me think of you and Bay City and Red Shirt Jenny starting a new job in Muscatine in October. The world is smaller than we imagine it to be. Hope all is well with you and the youth, we hope to pick next summer's destination tomorrow night. Mike
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, I saw a Nebraska flag and thought of Kelsey yesterday! It is a smaller world with facebook and the internet, that's for sure!
