The local laundry laundering matted lifted let in solid soiled linens~

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr
George Bernard Shaw
had no idea what the laundry room was for.
While writing 'Pygmalion'
he looked somewhat tatterdemalion.
laundry lines
wooden clothespins
white sheets
flapping...
ghosts of my
imagination...
like Halloween
this year
disappeared
The sunlight
shines through
the clouds
as rain falls
into the gray eyes
of a mother doing
laundry
while her children
play house.
Laundry, odor, stink
Parmesan cheese, fungus, dirt
Bleach, washing powders
(Let me Haiku you from a grandmother's point of view.)
white laundry
close ties
atop the dirty grass
grape skins of yellow rivers
raindrops
you wont stop peeking
downstairs at my new desk
Wash Those Froggies, Wash Those Froggies,
Dirty Froggies Get Eaten By Moggies.
Don't Be Mean, Get Them Clean
While You Read Your Magazine.
Laundry billowing in the wind
Drove my mother around the bend
She'd greet with scorn
Each Monday morn
But with ironing done, she grinned!

"I aired my clean laundry on the line, freshly washed and smelled of lavender'
< I really hate to do laundry
Why can't it be hands free ?
As the washing went round and rotated
She sat on the top and gyrated
When the spinner begun
She said “this is fun”
And finished her laundry elated
She's sporting her new hairdo.
Jar of quarters and loads of laundry.
Wasting hours at the laundromat

You gave the perfect alibi
Swept your dirty laundry under the mat
Fooled everyone ~ everyone but me

I
hate
laundry,
washing up,
ironing, dusting,
fixing stuff - and any
kind of household work.
The logical conclusion Is that
I must be descended from royalty
Unfold, get worn,
dirty, washed, refolded,
unravel, mend,
ignore, rediscover,
reshape, repair,
rethink, get comfortable.

life's a lot like laundry
While speaking on the phone
She said
I’m having a Deja vu
Of talking to you and doing laundry
I replied
What kind of Deja vu
She said
Of talking to you and doing laundry
in the laundry room of sky
the angels wash
the cloths of heaven
hang them on the clouds to dry
and then begin
their cosmic ironing

Why is my salary any business of yours
or yours any business of mine
Remember when we aired out our laundry
on strictly private clotheslines
(For Naomi)
She is brave
enough
to hang out her words
on the line
long past
the last fluttering square inch
is dry
and the neighbor’s
have closed their blinds.
farewell notes perfumed with ink ~ white shirt that always escaped laundry

Sponsor: JCB Burl
Tap, tap, bang sounds coming from basement door
Haven't been down there in over a score
Now afraid of that sound
Louder now with a bam
Open the door attacked by laundry galore
I've just returned from a perfect honeymoon
Why'd it have to end so soon
He carried me 'cross an ocean resort's threshold
~ Now I'm greeted by mountains of laundry to fold
Soft hands fold laundry,
laughter spills like loose buttons~
warmth in wrinkled sheets.
No blood binds us, yet we stay~
roots tangled, holding the earth.
socks tossed to the wind
as I stand in the doorway
soiled laundry will have to wait
i need to hold on
to my grandson, in throws of
theatrical night terrors
Stevie is no aberration
Many spoiled forty-year-old men
Now live in mama’s basement
Playing video games all night
Sleeping all day while mama does their laundry
And makes their meals
