There Will Always Be Laundry

There will be laundry
in paradise
or wherever you go
exotic or lunatic
high the culture, or low,
rich or poor
there will always
be laundry

Wars ended
peace declared
laundry

Adam and Eve
a fig leaf
laundry

Truer words were never spoken, Joe. My basement laundry room is more like a factory. Your pithy observations made me LOL.

The poem is fun. The laundry, less so. LOL

Ha ha! Always will be, always has been. Makes me wonder if A and E had a closet full of fig leaves, perhaps some for different occasions. :). Thanks for the early morning laugh.

It was fitting for me to be first to comment because I am Joe's Number One Fan. I love his repetition of the word "laundry" to make the point that dirty laundry is everywhere you turn.
