Doing Laundry

I swear they were laughing at me

those crumpled garments twisted

in a mountainous heap

My comfy bed lay invitingly

beneath the taunting pile

Should I hide the dreaded chore

under my bed

and force it from my mind

’til tomorrow?

Wait — that’s what I did yesterday

’Til next time — Life’s short, so don’t sweat the small stuff until you can’t get into bed.

Lynne
