A little short but packing a punch. Well done, Finch the man. A very interesting subject to write a poem about. If I could meet all of the other mes, I would just casually start talking a bunch of banter to them, and then have the greatest night of my life. Can\' t wait for the next one buddy, keep it up.

My heart goes out to you Goldfinch!
Since we both work, there is a division of labor in our household too. I very often cook, clean, do the dishes, the laundry and the shopping, BUT we NEVER iron anything anymore. I remember my mother ironing even the underwear, but that was in a different lifetime.

Listening to music helps the time pass when using the iron - unlike me I hope all was left flat and neat and folded away tidily in that empty basket my busy friend. Hope your good lady is now on the mend.

All my married friends believe in the fair division of labour. The Lady\'s list always includes IRONING JUMPERS - and the Men\'s PUMPING IRON ! That seem fair. If you are a married man and asked (God forbid ?) to iron. Turn the iron to max and melt her favourite lingerie | You won\'t be asked again ! The scent of burning silk is so so acrid. Joking apart ANDY | you are a SAINT - AMEN - BRIAN

OMG you\'re a born again domestic. I live alone and haven\'t ironed a shirt in probably twenty years. I don\'t even think about it. You\'re an exceptionally brave chap picking up one of those hot things. Great idea to write about it and love the way you present it.

Try whistling at the same time just to prove that men can do two things at the same time and finally dispose of this nonsensical myth once and for all.

It may pass quicker if we have something else on at he same time - telly or radio, or some music, etc.
I thought you meant watching \'Neighbours\' at first. That never goes away. We\'re condemned to it. I refuse on principle to watch any programme with someone named \'Toadfish\' in it! heehee.

I can see she has all the love and support that she could possibly wish for and as much as I feel for her I also feel for you - such a difficult and unforgiving illness. your poem so well sums up how you must feel - my heart goes out to you.

I think of you both, and pray for you both, hoping I don\'t \'spiritualise away\' situations. Of course, it\'s easy to believe when all is going smoothly and cosily.

How far can we go, with things in hymns, such as \'Sight, riches, healing of the mind / Yea, all I need in Thee to find\' as the hymn-writer put it?
I believe she had times of poor health. (Charlotte Elliott).
Prayer is always \'worth a try\' at least, though you probably know that (and do so).

Goldfinch60 big sympathy m8 with this horrible affliction eating at the foundations of your relationship. Your words are those of a considerate loving partner. Anyone who\'s come into contact with this beast know only too well the truth of your words, especially those of last 5 lines. Its a well expressed piece from the heart.

A fine write G/F. Of course, when on the sherry, every word of mine is meaningless! Just leave Orchi alone at those times, he means well, but he dunno what year it is when he\'s on the sherry - must be 1066, he says\'! heehee.

Goldfinch you said a lot in these four lines. And John Lennon is one of my alltime heroes. Heck, at my age, I grew up with the Beatles!
And unfortunately as of now it is still a myth that the earth is calm. And I don\'t think it will change in my lifetime. But I do have hopes that one day somewhere in the future, that calm will prevail.
