Washing Machine

Something is wrong with the washing machine It's supposed to save me time The sound of it chugging and whirring away Is simply quite divine I'm not quite sure how it happened The process need some refining 'Cos when the washer has finished it's job I'm always left with the Ironing.

Perhaps I can be added to the list. Suggestion: wash and wear will do away with the ironing; I highly suggest it! :)

ha! so funny. it should do it all right? It's surprising that no one has thought of a way to improve ironing. where are those robots we saw on the Jetsons?

Agreed! As much washing as I do in a day it doesnt seem that I'm actually saving time. Well written, Nick!
