Notes About The Poem

I Love Stripping

My husband loves watching me strip
go on Jan, you can do it he urges

As each piece glides to the ground
my body quivers with delight
It’s so satisfying
slowly peeling off the layers

I eventually reach the climax
and let out scream of excitement
as the final piece of damp wallpaper falls to the floor

Poet's Notes ...We are having a new bathroom installed tomorrow – my hubby has removed the tiles whilst I have stripped off the old wallpaper

Caren Krutsinger November 6, 2019 at 2:30 AM I read the title and said "What is Jan up to now?" You gave us the punchline not too early, but at exactly the right time. There is such a gift to this kind of timing. I am bowing down to this one. It is a giant "wow"! Jan Allison November 10, 2019 at 5:25 PM an innocent poem about stripping wallpaper lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Gershon Wolf November 5, 2019 at 1:41 PM Jan, the title says it all: Men can get excited about any kind of stripping, even wallpaper.

Pat Adams November 3, 2019 at 5:32 PM Not at all what was running through my mind, but then most of the time that is already running through my mind so......oh well.....anyway well done my friend! Hope you got all the layers peeled off!!!.......80) Jan Allison November 5, 2019 at 6:18 PM I perfected the perfect technique of stripping - wallpaper I will add lol:-) hugs jan xx

Sandra Adams November 3, 2019 at 5:02 PM lol, love the metaphor in this...you made stripping wallpaper sound exciting...i have been there....not a task i would want to attempt anytime soon....great write! :) hugs Sandra Adams November 3, 2019 at 7:22 PM i guess it could be fun in that case...when i stripped wall paper i had just bought my house, my best friend helped me and i am sure she wouldn't have left me fall but the wallpaper had to be 3 layers thick and we never thought we would get to the end ...it took us weeks of scraping and spraying, and peeling... hugs Jan Allison November 3, 2019 at 5:17 PM It was fun to work together doing the different jobs - I', not a great fan of heights but managed to stand on the top of the step ladder thankfully my hubby was there to catch me should I fall lol:-)hugs Jan xx
