Hellllllppppppppp I'Ve Lost My Knickers

Last night our kitchen light stopped working
It was intermittent all flashing and jerking
A replacement one was quickly needed
There was one on the shelves – our prayers were heeded

We were both up the ladder – we were drilling and screwing
Oh I am thankful my hubby knows what he’s doing
When the light switch was switched on
Bright golden glowing light gently shone

Everywhere was covered with a fine layer of dust
So I got out the hoover -  I cursed and I cussed
I started cleaning the nooks and crannies
My hoover is quite new it’s not like my grannies

I hang lots of washing by the kitchen door
But something had dropped right onto the floor
The hoover sucked up my pink lacy knickers
The light on the hoover went red and flickers

I shouted my hubby please come here quick
The hoover has swallowed my frilly nicks
We started to laugh as we undid the cover
My pink dusty knickers we soon did discover

The moral of this story is hang on to your frillies
If not, your assets may get a dose of the chillies
I’m going to keep a tight grip of my panties
I wonder if my husband totally agrees

Lovely whimsical thing . It was so cute. I remember in the seventies a girl i knew felt her knickers fall about her ankles. a young man nearby also saw and he yelled out, and pointed at the sky " look a flying saucer" my friend stepped out of the panties and ran. I grinned at the young man and followed. your poem is fun, i do admire that you do write with a lot of variety, your poems are not all the same. Thats my dream to do that.

Good luck Paddi - since my hubby had cancer and I started my poetry journey I try and write as humourously as I can - check out 'just desserts' my first poem I posted - also a true story.(blushes) Some of my poems are of a more serious nature especially about his cancer Hugs Jan xxx

We were helpless with laughter trying to remove them out of the hoover - they were covered in dust but nothing a wash wont cure - did make me giggle. thanks for dropping by Jan x
