Once more I have achieved it,
That seemingly impossible of tasks.
I was determined though,
Today would be the day
When I would get it done.
My wife cannot do it
Due to her ill health,
So it was down to me,
That task that never bore any pleasure,
But now I have succeeded,
And pride emanates through me.
Once more I took up my iron
And ironed,
Ironed all that was in it,
In that basket.
I emptied the ironing basket,
So proving that it does have a bottom.
