Sweet Sundae has got windy knickers, No she hasn’t been eating baked beans, It’s a game for her lovely daughter, And it’s not about farting it seems! You must help granny peg out washing, Because today it’s her washing day, If you land on the sun you can help her, But a tornado will blow clothes away! If you land on a cloud miss a turn, A rain cloud means your washing comes in, But landing on a storm you should spurn, All clothes blow off much to your chagrin! Now Sundae’s enjoying these ‘wash days’ As she sits with her huge glass of gin Sundae watches as her daughter plays Both are happy you should see them grin! Thanks to my sweet friend Sundae for telling me about this game … she said she saw it and thought of me! 09/21/20

INSTANTLY reminded of me when I was a child and got up in the middle of the night to dash through the snow to the outhouse, but my grandmother forgot to put the clothesline back up, so I was thrown for 4-yard loss! The games people play! Aloha! Rico
