Clothing Irony Whilst Ironing

The air is so chock full and thick
with irony

It must be hard to draw a single
breath inside

Without choking on it and gasping
for oxygen 

But then again at very least

Both my beard and moustache have
grown a little longer in the meanwhile

But isn't that the point of irony after all 

It helps you rather not contemplate 
think about focus or concentrate

On the total and utter irony of the
tedious task placed in front of you
at hand

Like ironically ironing ones clothes
for work the next day

I really liked this Christopher. It made me smile this morning. I like irony. I like and laugh at the fact that I lost my satnav once and couldn't find it anywhere and I'm telling you the truth when I say the Accident book at work once fell and hit a workmate on the head. I don't know if you wrote this while ironing but I understood if you did. It's usually doing mundane tasks when ideas for poetry come into my head. Good to read you back at The Soup. Cheers - Gary
