To find the hidden message read the black print letters. It's a two-word phrase.

I roning clothes – I love that job. Oh, my gosh! L aundering them first is another one O f numerous chores that let me wash V arious things. Wash this or that. How fun! E ven pots and pans! I must say . . . H ow much more pleasure can there even be? O n my hands and knees most of the day U sing so much zeal makes me feel so free. S uch a good place to be in mind and soul. E very day I search for things that I can dust. W ithout things to wipe off, what might be my role? O ven cleaning. What joy! Mopping – a must! R are are nights that early to bed I go. K eeping up chores, I sing Heigh Ho Heigh Ho! Sept. 6, 2021 Acrostic sonnet for Message in an Acrostic 2 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Kim Rodrigues

Andrea, Your poem read like the perfect Stepford wifes instruction manual. Except this one came with a special punchline puzzle. -Richard

Excellent Andrea. Very clever and droll. Love it. Especially the oven cleaning. Now I have a self cleaning oven but when you use it the house heats up something fierce. Once we had something spilled in the bottom of the oven Didn't notice it until it was too late. Pushed the self clean button and the smoke set off the smoke alarm in the house and had to let home security know not to send the fire men. lol Good stuff. God Bless, JB
