Ouch! That had to hurt! When I was learning to iron, I starched my father's underwear. Poor man never complained. Nice limerick! Hugs, Carolyn

Ouch, that must be painful! When I was little and learning to iron, I starched my father's underwear. He noticed. Let's give St. Patty a better robe for his eternal rest... Hugs, Carolyn

The Commander of Sembach AFB was a starch nut; fatigues returned from the Base Laundry were not only bullet-proof, but able to stand at attention without anyone in them, so pity your poor father! Aloha! Rico
